Excerpt from Medicine, 1924, Vol. 3: Analytical Reviews of General Medicine, Neurology and PediatricsThe foundations of our modern knowledge of the processes involved in the production of animal heat were laid by Lavoisier when he discovered that the amount of ice melted by a guinea-pig parallels the amount of carbon dioxide given Ofi by the animal. He drew the analogy between the emission of heat, the absorption of oxygen and the production of carbon dioxide by a burning candle and by a living animal, and recognized the identity of the processes involved. The plan was broadly conceived by Lavoisier and the foundations firmly laid.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
