Excerpt from On the Therapeutic Forces: An Effort to Consider the Action of Medicines in the Light of the Modern Doctrine of the Conservation of Force A great deal has been said in regard to the proper relation which the nitrogenous and non-nitrogenous foods hold to the Vital activities of the body. Liebig held that all muscular force emanated from a disinte gration and consumption of muscular tissue, and thus indirectly from the nitrogenous foods; but, since then, Traube and others were led to express views directly opposite to that of Liebig. Now it is evident that if muscular action depends on the destruction Of muscular or nitrogenous tissue for its moving force, then the waste which proceeds or re sults from such disassimilation must be proportionate to the amount of muscular work performed. With a view of ascertaining the truth, or falsity Of such a theory, Professors Pick and Wislicenus decided to put it to an experimental test. They determined to ascend the Faulhorn, a mountain of known height, collect their urine during the undertaking (since it is almost universally admitted that nearly the whole nitrogen waste Of the body is eliminated by the kidneys), and estimate the amount of albuminous material thus de stroyed in the body.
