Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Studies on the Influence of Thermal Environment on the Circulation and the Body-Heat
Effects of the Movement of Air and of Water upon the Pulse-rate in Man was communicated to the Physiological Society in December, This subject is dealt with more fully in the latter part of this little book.
My notes contain in all more than twenty-five thousand observations of the pulse-rate, the blood pressure, and the superficial and deep tempera ture of the body, under various conditions. For recording the temperature the Fahrenheit degree, which being smaller than the Centigrade lends itself more conveniently to a minuter division, has been used throughout, and when the rectal temperature is being watched continuously with a delicate thermometer a change so small as 01 F. May be recorded with confidence.
