“It is not without historical interest that Dr. Wilson Fox has
formally confessed his belief in the fallacies of his former
experiments, and basing this opinion upon the results of a careful
series of similar investigations carried out, at his request, by Dr.
Dawson Williams, in Dr. Burdon-Sanderson’s laboratory, he has
expressed his belief in the specific nature of the tubercular virus. Dr.
Fox has found, on repetition of his former experiments, that any

“(Q. 5412.) (Viscount Cardwell.) You are of opinion that in
inflicting operations, in themselves very painful, upon living animals,
curare ought not to be trusted as taking away sensibility to pain? I
should think not. I would add this: I do not believe that physiologists
use it for that purpose. It is used in order to eliminate a series of
fallacies which obtrude themselves in physiological experiments.”—

“I owe the fundamental idea of my method of experimentation to
the memory of my experience as prosector at Königsberg. I have
often dissected out the arteries of the brain filled with torpid
matter.… I resolved to try whether it would be possible to rinse out
the living brain and spare the larger veins. The very first effort was
so successful that it encouraged me to proceed, and that was the
origin of this work.… All my experiments were made on dogs which I
chloroformed before the operation. To bare the skull, I generally
made first a cut in the centre and separated the skin on one side, so
that the muscles of the temples were visible. Then according to the
experiment I wished to make, a portion of the muscle was cut away
to expose the place in the bone where the hole was to be bored.
According to the requirements of the case, one, two, or still more
holes were bored, and after making a cut in the head skin, the brain
matter was rinsed out. I generally used spring water, heated to the
temperature of the blood.… At all events till now, as far as my
knowledge of the literature of this subject goes, no one has
succeeded in making such extensive destruction of the brain and still
preserving life. I have succeeded in a series of experiments made at
different intervals, in so seriously injuring one hemisphere, that all
the circumvolutions that touched the skull had disappeared. The
animal lived for weeks with its crippled brain, and served for many
observations.”—Verrichtungen des Grosshirns, pp. 3-8. (A work
dedicated to his “English Friends.”)
“It is not often that two physiologists agree in matters relating to
the physiology of the brain.”—Ibid., p. 9.
“I do not by any means claim that my researches can be of any
value in themselves for the pathology of the human brain. Let the
pathologists continue steadily to collect facts, then the apparent
contradictions between the experiments on animals and the
observations at the bedside will soon be reconciled.”—Ibid., p. 176.
“The fact that both in tortoises and in toads, the extirpation of the
cerebellum and the superior two-thirds of the bulbus does not
abolish the sense of equilibrium, proves that the too widely
generalised theory of Goltz which localises this sense in the
cerebellum, as also that of Vulpian, who in the inferior vertebrates,
places the seat of this sense in the part corresponding to the annular
protuberance of the superior vertebrates, are both equally inexact.—
Florence, June, 1883.”—Fano, “Recherches expérimentales sur un
nouveau centre automatique dans le tractus bulbo-spinal.”—Arch.
ital. de Biol., Vol. III., p. 368.
“It is self evident, that Goltz’s experience, when quoted against
the localizations of functions in the cortex of the brain is of no
worth.”… (p. 11). “Professor Goltz’s assumption that irritation sets up
inhibitory processes, having their seat in the cerebrum, which cause,
through paralysis of certain centres situated in the cerebellum and
its connections, all the non-permanent disturbances,—this
assumption is inadmissible” (p. 13).—Munk, Ueber die Functionen
der Grosshirn-Rinde.
“After I had laid bare the bone behind the ear of the pigeon, I
bored out, bit by bit, with the help of a sharp hollow chisel, the ear
labyrinths on both sides of the head. The bleeding caused by this
operation is very considerable. In those cases where I endeavoured
to destroy entirely both labyrinths, the birds died soon after the
operation with violent rolling movements or somersaults. For this
reason I afterwards contented myself with breaking out pieces of the
superficial canals. Many of the thus injured birds I have kept alive a
long time, and especially two which I had operated upon half a year
ago, and which I exhibited at the Congress of Naturalists at
Innspruck on 21st September, 1869.”—Pflüger’s Archiv., Vol. III., pp.
177-78.
“The sanguinary part of the operation begins with the insertion of
the cannula to supply artificial respiration. Then the right carotid
artery is dissected out. Afterwards, while artificial respiration is being
set up, a square opening is made in the left wall of the chest with a
knife and the bone scissors. The opening is extended far into the
right pleural cavity, and widened downwards till it reaches the
diaphragm which is severed from the ribs. It is best to make the
opening in the chest large enough to avoid any pressure on the
heart from the lungs or other neighbouring parts. The pericardium is
opened wide so that the greatest possible surface of the heart may
be exposed to the action of the atmospheric air. After this
sanguinary preparation the catheter is introduced from the right
carotis into the aorta, and from thence to the left ventricle of the
heart. As soon as it has reached this point (which fact can be
ascertained by feeling the exposed heart) the stopper (of the
instrument previously described) is withdrawn. The next systole
sends a powerful stream of blood into the catheter, which is
immediately checked by fixing the gutta percha end of the previously
set manometer on this conducting catheter. Now begins the
observation which richly repays the tedious and bloody preparation.
The heart pumps out the manometer with surprising rapidity.… We
have repeated this experiment six times.”—“Ueber die
Druckverhältnisse im Innern des Herzens,” Pflüger’s Archiv., Vol.
XVII., p. 113.

“Dr. Gréhant recently made an interesting communication to the
Biological Society, on the quantity of alcohol that would be necessary
to produce fatal effect. With this view he performed a series of
experiments, the results of which were always identical. By means of
an œsophagal tube, Dr. Gréhant injected into the stomach of a dog
thirty grammes of alcohol every half hour until the animal died. At
the post-mortem examination, he found that the blood of the animal
contained a proportion of one part of absolute alcohol to 100 parts
of blood.”—Lancet, Jan. 20th, 1883, p. 125.
“I prepared in a large gutta percha balloon a mixture of 100 litres
of air and 255 cubic centimetres of pure oxide of carbon, which
made 1/392 of poisonous gas; I then opened the jugular vein in a
dog of 9 kilos., and with a long india-rubber catheter introduced into
the vena cava inferior, drew out 30 centimetres of blood, put it into a
flask and defibrinised it by agitating it a few minutes. The animal’s
head was then placed in a gutta percha muzzle communicating with
the top of the balloon containing the oxide of carbon, and the animal
was allowed to breathe into it for half-an-hour. During the last two
minutes a second quantity of blood was taken from the vena cava
and defibrinised; then the animal was allowed to breathe in the air,
and half-an-hour later a third sample of blood was taken.…”—On the

fastened, and all the symptoms of the most violent dyspnœa set in.
If the skin of the animal is slightly raised, it can be observed that the
venous blood-vessels are puffed and swollen and contain dark blood.
It soon becomes impossible to see how the animal breathes, and
death follows.”—Untersuchungen aus dem Physiologischen Lab. in
Wurzburg, 1869, p. 275.

Made experiments jointly with L. Brück on the influence of lesions
of certain portions of the brain on animal heat.—Pflüger’s Archiv.,
1870, p. 578.
“… I requested the students, Messrs. Brück and Günther, to repeat
the experiments of Tscheschichin and Sewitzky.… The animals were,
as in previous experiments, rabbits. The lesions were invariably
made through the unopened skull.… Out of 23 experiments, 11 gave
positive, and 12 negative results. These experiments have given us
the following facts for further study:—The division of the brain
between the pons varolis and the medulla oblongata may produce
heightened temperature. Seven experiments of this section were
made; in two only the results were as above; but in these two cases
the evidence was in a high degree satisfactory. In four cases the
temperature sank after the operation; in one the action was so
positive that the temperature of the animal which had been bound
for seven hours did not sink any lower after the operation, which it is
well known generally happens.”—Heidenhain, Pflüger’s Archiv., Vol.
III., pp. 579-80.

Made experiments on the physiological action of animal poisons,
on dogs, cats, and frogs.
“The experiments were performed at University College, in the
presence of my colleagues, Professors Sharpey, Ellis, and
Williamson.… A large dog was bitten by one of the snakes over the
right eye.… In three minutes the dog became very restless, and
gave a low whine as if of pain. After moving about the room for ten
minutes searching for a comfortable place to lie down on, he placed
himself in the coolest part of the chamber, and laid his head on the
cold stones, as if to relieve headache. He moaned as if in distress.…
As the effects of the poison passed away, the pulse gradually
recovered.… The serpent was once more allowed to bite him. The
same train of symptoms again appeared, but in a more intense
degree, and within twenty-five minutes he had become insensible.…
Half an hour after being bitten the second time, convulsive
twitchings began to appear in the fore limbs and muscles of the
neck. In ten minutes more the whole body became convulsed. The
limbs were stretched out and the head jerked backwards.… In two
hours and a quarter the animal appeared to be dead, but on making
an incision into the thorax, he gave a gasp. After waiting some time
without observing any further sign of life, another incision was
made, when he again gasped, but only once.”—“On the influence of

“The following observations, in so far as they relate to temporary
fistula, were made in the summer of 1872; … those relating to
permanent fistula belong principally to a series of experiments made
with the students, Messrs. Jastrow, Langondorff and Körner. The
principal results of both series proved that the secretion of the
pancreas if arrested may be made to continue; or if present may be
rendered more active. However, I must at once observe that the
disturbances, the causes of which are still unknown to us, which
almost invariably render useless all experiments on the pancreas,
were also often present in those I am about to describe.…
“The experiments were invariably made on curarised animals. In
such cases we have noticed the striking fact when the rapidity of
secretion had been measured before and after curarisation, there
was always a diminution during the curare anæsthesia, in
contradiction to the result of Bernstein’s experiments; in which the
secretion increased under the influence of the poison.” “Beiträge zur
Kenntniss der Pancreas.”—Pflüger’s Archiv., Vol. X., pp. 606-607.
Permanent fistula of the stomach established in dogs, then they
were curarised and the spinal marrow stimulated with electrodes to
cause secretion from the pancreas. These experiments were
undertaken with the aid of students.

“Our experiments were intended to decide how far the objection
raised on several sides was justified, that the results of the
experiments made by Fritsch and Hitzig on the cortex of the
cerebrum did not arise from the excitation of the cortex itself, but of
the more internal parts.… The experiments were made during the
summer term of 1874, all on middle-sized dogs, and were carried
out successfully.… There were only six; as the results were all the
same, there was no reason to make more of these cruel
experiments.… I conclude with the remark that the experiments of
Fritsch and Hitzig, however interesting and precious they may be, do
not justify any conclusions concerning the functions of the
cortex.”—“Ueber electrische Reizversuche an der Grosshirnrinde,”
