Animal Physiology. Upon the causes of spon taneous coagulation of the blood upon its escape from the body. (Cl. Bernard, as reported by M. F. Glinard, Bib. Hom., vol. VIII., p. 147.) When an arterial or venous segment is removed from a living animal and is preserved from the air, the blood is not coagulated. After a variable time the seg ment dries to a point, and becomes of the consistence of horn. If the blood thus dessicated is distributed in water, it dissolves, and is susceptible of spontaneous coagulation en masse, even after filtration. The coagulation of blood is caused by contact with foreign bodies. Blood preserved in its segment is revivitied as soon as it is liquid, and beef's blood may, seven hours after it is taken from the body, be applied successfully to transfusion upon an exsanguine dog. Blood is living when it is spontaneously coagulatable-coagulation is the death of blood. FEVERS. Intermittent Fever. My rule is this: I The three most prominent causes of failure Apis.
