Contributions To The Physiology And Pathology Of The Blood PDF Download

Excerpt from Contributions to the Physiology and Pathology of the Circulation of the Blood It has not yet explained the epicycles, as I may be allowed to call the partial systems, and various relations of parts, both fluid and solid, on which the anomalies of the body, the nature of diseases, and the operations of medicines must depend. Had Newton only discovered the general operation of gravity upon all matters, and barely hinted that the motion of the planets must depend upon it, philosophers had then understood the system of the world nearly as well as we do now the system of the body." A conviction of the truth of the opinions expressed in the preceding quotations, led me, many years since, to engage in an attempt to elucidate some points in the physiology of the circulation of the blood, and to apply that great principle more extensively to the illustration and explanation of pathological phenomena.
