Excerpt from Covenant Mutual: Life Insurance Co; Of Saint Louis, the Oldest Life Insurance Company in the West
The amount of pressure is regulated by the expiratory effort of the surgeon, and the flow is stopped at will by lifting the bulb, or by ceasing to expire through the tube and bulb.
With this apparatus there is no possibility of clot forming in the vein after it is opened, since no blood is left at rest in it. And yet, the blood after it begins to flow out of the silver point is at once conducted into the vein of the patient, and there is no possibility. Of the introduction of air. After the blood begins to flow into the receiver the Operation is so rapidly completed that there is little danger of clotting; and, if a clot is formed in any part of the apparatus, the operator at once detects it by the increased resistance offered to expiration.
Should a failure occur, the apparatus may be easily cleaned and all clots quickly removed and the Operation repeated. A few drops of a weak solution of soda, potash, or ammonia placed in the receiver before its use will retard the coagulation of the blood first entering it, and thus allow more time for the comple tion of the Operation.

Furthermore, the author discusses the profound implications of this scientific premise for scientific disciplines ranging from philosophy to psychology, and others that touch on the relationship between mind and body. Offering a detailed consideration of brain function and its relationship to mental processes, this book will appeal to a wide range of readers including scientists, philosophers, and general readers.
