Extract

The experiments, of which the results are recorded in the present communication, were undertaken in order to determine the rate at which blood flows through tubes of moderately small diameter, with a view to the study of the mechanical theory of dysmenorrhœa; they were afterwards extended to blood-clot, serum, milk, and urine, &c.
