Excerpt from An Attempt to Ascertain the Cause of the Extensive Inflammation, Which Attacks Wounded Cavities and Their ContentsThese are the chief grounds, on which Mr. Hunter has introduced the new, and to me, incomprehensible doc trine of the stimulus of imperfection, which appears to have been assumed, without the semblance of proof, or any arguments shewing even the probability of the existence of any capacity in the animal economy to give it. It is, indeed, very certain that all wounded cavities are imperfect, and this being a necessary and unavoidable circumstance and uniformly attending, as it applies to every case, is, with perhaps something more of the appearance of. Truth, char ged with the consequent in¿ammation, than air, which had before been suspected.Mr. Hunter is not explicit as to the source of the sti mulus of imperfection nor am I certain, whether he intend ed to convey the idea, that it is given by an intelligent a gent, but from the manner in which he speaks, he must have viewed it, as arising from some power capable of de ciding when such a stimulus is necessary, directing its efforts to the benefit of the system and instituting such ac tions as are necessary to restore parts that are injured.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
