Excerpt from The Year Book of the Oil, Paint and Drug Reporter: A Synopsis of Researches and Discoveries in Chemicals, Oils, Etc., During 1873, Containing Biographical Sketches of Baron Liebig, C. H. Leonard, Fisher Howe and David Hoadley In this work be extended his researches to the laws of animal existence and development, and ventured the bold experi ment of setting aside the hypothesis Of a vital principle as accounting for the phenomenon of life - examining it as a physiological fact, the reason for which would be found by chemical analysis. By careful comparisons between that which is taken into the body and that which passes from it, he proved that the phenomenon of animal heat is the result of the com bustion of carbon, and the group of proteinaceous compounds discovered by Muller were traced to their ultimate destiny in the production of animal tissue. It is impossible in the brief limits of a biographical sketch to enter upon the examination of the plan and scope of such a work. We can only say that it created a profound impression, and called out an amount of scientific research which has been productive of great and important benefits, and given us the science of physiology as We find it to-day - still with unsolved problems, it is true, but with a mass of truth based upon undoubted demonstration, which would never have been reached had a different method of study been followed from that begun by liebig.
