Not illustrated. 1908 Excerpt: ...is perfectly clear without further explanation, that owing to the various reactions taking place within the cells, at one time the action of one ion is most prominent, while at another time it is that of a different one. The cell must always be able to neutralize at a given moment the action of any one ion. Undoubtedly physical chemistry has here pointed out new paths for further investigation, and there is no question but that it will enable us eventually to draw new conclusions along lines that have already been studied. Here again in the operations of the delicate mechanism of the cell, it is not right to attempt to distinguish between the physical chemistry and physiological chemistry of the cells. Here and there it is advisable to separate the two fields and allow them to develop individually, but again and again they must come back to a common basis and unite to form a broader field, which develops by different methods as a whole. It is obvious from a study of the experiments already cited that salts and water are fully as important as regards the life of the cell as its organic nutriment. Just as the part played by the latter is quite a varied one, so in the same way the inorganic substances participate in a number of different processes. Although they do not furnish the body with energy, nevertheless they do come into play during the expenditure of muscular effort, whether by changes in the concentration of the solutions, or by variations in the osmotic pressure, or of the surface tension, etc. Inorganic salts are usually present in the different foods to an extent entirely sufficient for all our demands. An exception to this general rule is the fact that man and certain animals require an additional supply of sodium chloride. Sodium chloride is the...
