Excerpt from Muscular Work: A Metabolic Study With Special Reference to the Efficiency of the Human Body as a Machine

Prior to the time of Lavoisier, the conceptions of the physical and physi ological processes as related to the chemistry of the human body were so devoid of scientific foundation that they can have now but little value except as an historic record of the trend of scientific thought at that time. With the advent of Lavoisier and his contemporaries, physiological and chemical research began to take a definite form which gradually led to the unfolding of natural laws and to the explanation of the phenomena of muscular action and of the transformations in the human body and their intimate relationships.
