It is only within the last few years that any serious attempt has been made to investigate the viscosity of the blood and to find out what importance, if any, could be attached to the variations in the fluid friction of the blood in health and disease. Prior to this period a few physiologists did pay attention to this subject, but many of their results have been ignored on account of the difficulty encountered by the coagulation of the blood. Defibrinated blood or blood to which an anti-coagulator had been added was used in later investigations.
