It is one of those numerous examples which prove that, in producing living bodies, what nature seems to lose in size, she fully regains in the number of individuals, which she multiplies to infinity, and with a readiness almost miraculous. The bodies of these minute animals exert more...
Halaman 131 - Disease occurs when the sum of vital force, which tends to neutralize all causes of disturbance, (in other words, when the resistance offered by the vital force,) is weaker than the acting cause of disturbance.
Halaman 129 - Chemical researches have shown, that all such parts of vegetables as can afford nutriment to animals contain certain constituents which are rich in nitrogen ; and the most ordinary experience proves that animals require for their support and nutrition less of these parts of plants in proportion as they abound in the nitrogenized constituents. Animals cannot be fed on matters destitute of these nitrogenized constituents.

Halaman 130 - He concludes with an endeavour to give a chemical explanation of the action of drugs : — " Medicinal or remedial agents may be divided into two classes, the nitrogenised and the non-nitrogenised.

Halaman 129 - The flesh and blood consumed as food yield their carbon for the support of the respiratory process, while its nitrogen appears as uric acid, ammonia, or urea. But previously to these final changes, the dead flesh and blood become living flesh and blood, and it is, strictly speaking, the carbon of the compounds formed in the metamorphoses of living tissues that serves for the production of animal heat.
