Page 109 - ... no direct effect whatever upon the quantity of blood sent out from the left ventricle at each systole.
Page 47 - It was found in all cases that the difference between the spectrum of the chloride and the spectrum of the metal was that under the same spark-conditions all the short lines were obliterated.
Page 52 - Appendix, p. 173. identical in number and position with the principal lines of the metal itself. Short lines become long lines, but otherwise their character is identical, whether the spectra are produced by metallic electrodes or solutions. The effect of diluting solutions of metallic salts is first to weaken and attenuate the metallic lines, then with a more extensive dilution to shorten them, the length of the longest and strongest lines generally decreasing until they finally disappear.
