...approximate law of muscular action, which I have called the " Law of Fatigue," is thus expressed : " When the same muscle (or group of muscles') is kept in constant action until fatigue sets in, tluK total work done multiplied by the rate of work is constant." I instructed a number of medical...

He has also stated as laws the following propositions: — I. In comparing together different muscles,...

Law I he calls Borelli's law, as it corresponds to his 121st, 122nd, and 123rd propositions, but Borelli,...
