Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Transactions of the Provincial Medical and Surgical Association, 1842, Vol. 10
The researches undertaken by M. Flourens during the early part of the preceding year, upon the action of madder on the bones, have been since continued; and he has succeded in showing by this means that the longitudinal growth of bones takes place at either extremity of the long bones.et This fact had before been indicated by some ingenious experiments of Duhamel and John Hunter of another kind; but although the colouring of the layer of bone deposited during the feeding of animals with madder had been made use of to de teet the growth of bone in thickness, the applica tion of the same experiment to show the growth in a longitudinal direction would not seem to have been made.
