Book excerpt: Excerpt from Improved Theory and Practice of Medicine: Deduced From Forty Years Successful Practice In the state Of health the various functions are executed in a regular and harmonious manner, and are intimately connected by consent or sympathy; but, if a morbific cause impresses the Organism, this harmonious condition is disturbed; a fresh series of actions results; and disorder supervenes. Physiolo gists have noticed in every living body an instinctive action an action Of the living principle, manifestly directing its Opera tions to the health, preservation, or reproduction Of a living frame, or of any part of it. This applies to the plant as well as to the animal. It is the mic mea'z'catrz'x naturw for and against which so much has been said; but which, if restricted to the Operation we have mentioned, can no more be denied than the existence which we know nothing except by its results. It is strikingly witnessed in the reparatory power exerted by living bodies after the receipt of an injury. If we tear a branch from a tree, we find that the injury done to the parent trunk is repaired by an action analogous to that set up by the animal whenever a wound is inflicted upon it.
