Excess of Blood in a Fart. Section IV.—With Motion diminished - - p. 173-188 Congestion analyzed. Its causes classed. Congestion from venous obstruct ion. Examples, in health and in disease. Ex- planation of congestion in emphysema. Congestion from atony of the vessels. From general debility. Hypostatic. From over-distension. Examples. From intropulsive action of cold and malaria. Over-excitement or inflammation. Examples and illustrations by microscope. Stagnation in the vessels. From arrest of secretion or capillary circulation. From imperfect respiration. (Power of the heart sufficient of itself to main- tain the circulation. L>r. Sharpey's experiment. Microscopic examinations; fallacies. Objections to the supposition of spontaneous movement of the blood-particles.) Observations of Mr. Erichsen. Obstruction to circulation in asphyxia is from contraction of the small arteries. Atony of vessels im- pedes transit of blood. Experiments to show the neutralization of force in the flaccid vessels. Cause of long continuance of congestion. Symptoms and effects of congestion. Effects on secretion explained. Production of flux. Examples. Considerable congestion required to produce dropsy. Amount of tension and quality of blood determine quality of effusion, liquid and solid. Examples. Albuminuria referred to congestion of the kidney. Reasons. Congestion continuing, causes hypertrophy of a peculiar kind Origin of granular disease and cirrhosis. Other instances. Effects of local congestion on the system. Remedies for congestion. Removal of causes, venous obstruction and causes of atony. Posture. Pressure. Friction. Exercise. Astringents and tonics- when inapplicable. Stimulant remedies. Operation shown by the microscope-' when hurtful. Depletion and other evacuants. Haamostasis or counter con- gestion. 1 receding remedies combined or alternated. Prevention of con- gestions by increasing tone. Section V.—Local Hyperemia. Excess of Blood in a Part with Motion increased. Determination of Blood - - p. 189-198 Examples in health and in disease. Determination to the head. Examples with symptoms. Caused by stimuli. Physical cause of determination of blood Enlargement of arteries proved, by experiment and microscope. Dr. Billing's Mew Cause of he enlargement, a loss of tonicity. Final cause of deter- mination to supply more blood where wanted. Determination from ntro- pulsion. bubjects of determination.
