HEAT AND COLD. 



The fact of the child expanding or growing would 

 necessitate additional heat within the laws at the foun- 

 dation of heat and cold. As heat tends to expand and 

 cold to contraction on the particles of matter. The 

 mother also expanding in the true order of nature in 

 order to make room for the growing being, should, ac- 

 cording to the law^s of heat and cold, raise in tempera- 

 ture. The reduction in the density of the blood tells 

 the true story of temperature in both cases. It is a 

 question as to whether our means, mechanically con- 

 sidered, would weigh as thoroughly the condition of 

 temperature as the condition of the blood. 



The blood being incapable of lying in the case. As 

 the same properties of matter when subjected to tem- 

 perature, the temperature being the same, will always 

 act the same.
