Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gaillard's Medical Journal, Vol. 53: From July, 1891, to January, 1892
This conclusion has been, comparatively lately, entirely confirmed by the experiments of more than one observer. I would especially allude to one performed by Professor Berry Haycraft'. He has found that if a drop of blood is introduced under suitable precautions into a deep nar row jar of castor oil, and before the drop, which falls slowly through this oil, has reached the bottom of the vesssel, the jar is inverted and the drop made to retrace its steps without having touched the glass, this process being repeated again and again, the drop of blood, having never come in contact with an ordinary solid, remains ?uid for an indefinite period. This experiment may perhaps appear to some of you even more conclusive than mine, inasmuch as no coagulation whatsoever occurs in the drop of blood under these circumstances. Certainly it seems to me that it confirms in an absolutely unmistakable manner the view to which I had been previ ously led.
