Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The British Journal of Homoeopathy 1860, Vol. 18
The analyses of the different tissues of the body have been, until this time, but imperfectly conducted, and nothing like the whole of the elements entering into their composition have been determined, nor the local arrangements of them in the several portions of the system. It is true, so far as I can learn at this distance from the scene of immediate scientific action, that calcium, magnesium, silicium, aluminium, potassium, sodium, phosphorus, ?uorine, sulphur, chlorine, iron, manganese, tita nium, arsenic, copper, and a few others, have been determined as existing in the several tissues of the body.
As I remarked before, casual notice has been given to the local existence of these elements, showing most distinctly that independent affinities exist, and that the law of separate affinity determines all the secretions and organic phenomena of the system. N o progress can be made in discovering and con coiling the at present occult laws which produce such infinite modifications in the animal organization, until we are convinced.
