CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD. 



how cold acts and becomes active at the heart in carry- 

 ing on its part of the movement generated. 



Heat and cold act conjointly in causing move- 

 ment in the heart. The right auricle and the right 

 ventricle are agencies actuated by the action of cold 

 upon the particles of blood. They derive their power, 

 that is, working power, from cold on the particles of 

 matter. The left auricle and left ventricle derive 

 their working power from the action of heat, acting 

 upon the particles of blood or matter. Cold and heat 

 acting in union in forcing each movement. Cold aid- 

 ing heat in causing the forcing of blood through the 

 aorta. Heat aiding cold in forcing blood into the pul- 

 monary canals carrying same to the point of heat, or 

 lungs. 



Now to consider blood leaving the lungs: Blood 

 leaving the lungs does so through being reduced by 

 having all foreign matter burned by the greater heat 

 generated within the human organism. This burning 

 causes the dispersal of blood particles into the most 

 minute particles possible within the heat generated 

 within the human body. Dispersal by using waste 

 matter for fuel in the burning process within the 

 lungs, causes the waste matter to be thrown off by the 

 lungs, on account of being of no more value as fuel. 

 The blood having been cleansed of all particles capa- 

 ble of use as fuel within the given temperature, and 

 in consequence being no longer of use within the lungs. 

 It becomes subject to the dispersing power, or lifting 

 power generated. Heat being a lifting power. Con-
