DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Heart as a Power-Chamber: A Contribution to Cardio-Dynamics The following pages present an endeavour to bring together the facts of anatomy, as they show themselves in the dissecting room and the post-mortem room, along with the observations of physiology, as, in the laboratory, these disclose the living principle, the Archaeus, working within the organs and tissues. In the dissecting room, as in the post-mortem room, we see structure designed to contain and control and give effect to certain forces, and to the manifestations which such forces and structures together generate we apply the term "vital." In the absence of structure force has no direction; it is disembodied, so to speak; it is formless. In the absence of force, structure is incapable of expression; it is powerless; and it is thus that we see the organs and tissues after death, and for this reason that we miss the true significance of structure, which to be interpreted fully must be seen in action. What is to be done to make more profitable our exploration of the lifeless organs and tissues? for to the end of time we shall continue to peer and pry, with scalpel and forceps and microscope, notwithstanding the absence of the vital principle.
