Excerpt from The Mercer's Company Lectures on the Fluids of the Body
The first seven of the Lectures contained in this volume are based ou-two courses of Lectures which I delivered at University College, London, in the summer of 1907, and in New York during January, 1908, at the Bellevue Hospital and Medical School, under the foundation of Dr. C. A. Herter. The eighth Lecture represents one of the Arris and Gale Lectures delivered in 1896 before the Royal College of Surgeons with certain additions and alterations necessitated by recent work on the subject. I have thought it advisable to add this last chapter in order that those, whose interests lie chiefly in the practical treatment of disease, may appreciate how closely our control of morbid processes is bound up with the advance of the purely physiological knowledge which forms the theme of the first seven Lectures.
I have made no attempt to give an exhaustive account of any of the subjects treated in the Lectures, believing that a presentation from the standpoint of one worker is more likely to excite interest, whether of sympathy or dissent. In this way my readers may be stimulated to search out for them selves, in the wards or in the laboratory, the answers to some of the riddles with which they are here confronted.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into how water, as a crucial component of protoplasm, determines many characteristics of living organisms. The author discusses the physical properties of protoplasm, focusing on its osmotic relationships with its surroundings. The permeability of the cell membrane, or Plasmahaut, in governing the exchange of substances between the cell and its environment is explored. Specific examples of salt effects on living cells are used to demonstrate the importance of qualitative composition of the surrounding medium. The book highlights the close relationship between the molecular structure of protoplasm and the physiological functions of cells, emphasizing the critical role of surface tension and chemical composition in determining cell behavior and responses to stimuli. It ultimately underscores the significance of understanding these relationships for comprehending the fundamental mechanisms of life.
