Notwithstanding the great length of time during which the blood has been the subject of physiological research, an eminent anatomist, so late as the year 1838, remarks, that “we have no clear conception of the mode in which the floating corpuscles of the blood conduce to nourishment.” That Professor Weber was not mistaken in coming to such a conclusion, I think will be admitted by every one who takes the pains to consult the records of discovery in this most interesting field of observation. I am not aware that, since the period just mentioned, any additional facts have been published, relating to “the mode in which the floating corpuscles of the blood conduce to nourishment,” unless my own communications, already presented to the Society, are to be so regarded,—those communications having reference to the mode of propagation of the floating blood-corpuscle, and to its conversion into two or three kinds of tissues.
