This book re-examines the accepted theories of the day on nerve and muscle interaction and the role of electricity in these interactions, proposing an alternate theory. The author asserts that muscles have an inherent contractile power that is independent of nervous influence, and that nerve force acts as a restraining force on this contractile power. The book provides an in-depth analysis of various phenomena related to muscular contraction, including active (voluntary) contraction, passive contraction (or tone), irregular (involuntary) contraction, relaxation or accidity, and rigor mortis. Through this analysis, the author aims to demonstrate the validity of the proposed theory and its implications for understanding the role of nerve and muscle in bodily functions. The significance of this book lies in its challenge to established theories and its potential to contribute to a deeper understanding of the physiological mechanisms underlying muscular contraction.
