Excerpt from The Experimental Method, Medical Science: Second Course of the Cartwright Lectures of the Alumni Association, College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, Delivered January 24, January 31, and February 7, 1882
The results obtained by these two investigators were distinct from each other, but of almost equal importance. Galvani discovered the electric action on nerves and mus cles which bears his name. Volta gave to science a new apparatus, by which current electricity is transmitted in a continuous circuit. Each investigator was partially at fault in the theoretical explanation of his own discovery. But the value of the discovery has remained, and has even largelyincreased in the course of a century, notwithstand ing the difference in its interpretation. It also appears, from the history of the circumstances, that the second of these discoveries was a consequence of the first and nothing can show more clearly the unbroken connection of events in the progress of science, which may some times extend to the most unexpected ramifications. It is plain. That we should not be to-day in possession of the electric light, were it not for Volta's discovery of current electricity; and Volta produced his electric pile in trying to investigate the contraction of Galvani's frogs.

Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Alumni, - In discharging the agreeable duty which you have kindly imposed upon me, of giving-the Cartwright, Lectures for this year, I propose to offer a few historical sketches, which shall illustrate the manner in which certain parts of our scientific knowledge in medicine have been attained. The connection between scientific and practical medicine is furthermore so close, that permanent improvement in the one is inseparably dependent on that of the other; but this connection becomes much more apparent when we trace the history of any particular department for a considerable period of time. By this means we can see how much of the doctrine accepted by our predecessors has survived the ordeal of a century, and what were the methods of investigation which produced in their hands the permanent results which we enjoy to-day.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of how scientists came to understand how the nervous system works. Starting with the work of Galvani in the 18th century, the author traces the development of our knowledge of the nervous system through the work of Volta, Bell, and others. The book discusses the discovery of the motor and sensitive properties of the nervous system, the role of the nervous system in controlling the heart and blood vessels, and the localization of function in different regions of the brain. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of science and the development of our understanding of the human body. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330202364_0
