Excerpt from An Experimental Study of the Physical Chemistry of Anaesthesia in Relationship to Its Causation If the concentration of the anaesthetic be increased, however, these remaining portions of the nervous system also pass under the action of the anaesthetic, and death of the mammal ensues, usually from stoppage of the action of the nerve cells responsible for the continuance of the respiratory rhythm. Nor is it the cells of the nervous system alone which are affected by anaesthetics, for at increasing concentrations isolated mammalian tissues are affected, and their activities inhibited and finally stopped, as has been demonstrated experimentally for nerve fibres, for cardiac and skeletal muscle, and for ciliated cells. The same effects are demonstrable not only for mammalian tissues, but also in all living cells of whatever source, whether of vertebrate or invertebrate, of animal or plant, of the lowliest unicellular organism or of the highest mammal. This result is of importance, as clearly showing that the effect of the anaesthetic throughout the whole range of living cells is produced in some common fashion upon a constituent which is uniformly present in every living cell, and is not something peculiar to the nerve cell, nor explicable by some morphological arrangement present in the nerve cell and not present in other' cells.
