Contributions To The Physiology And Pathology Of The Circulation Of The Blood Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Clinical Pathology of the Blood The following translation was authorised by Professor v. Limbeck shortly before his premature death, and represents the latest German edition save for the fact that Dr. Freund's chapter, which deals chiefly with the physio logical aspects of blood 'coagulation, and certain other passages have been considerably condensed. Professor V. Limbeck had a world-wide reputation as an authority upon all points connected with the physiology, pathology, and chemistry of the blood, and his early death was a heavy blow to every one interested in these subjects. He was a man of singularly engaging nature and of enormous capacity for work, and notwithstanding the many calls upon his time, was ever ready to help any who, like ourselves, had the inestimable' privilege of working with him. In addition to this Professor v. Limbeck combined many qualities which are not always associated with great learning. He was generously appreciative of the work done by others whilst on those rare occasions on which he was shown to be at fault, he was the first to admit his error. A touch of quiet humour and gentle satire also character ised him, as may be seen in the few but telling words with which he dismisses the plausible theory of Bunge, and the preposterous one of Neusser.
