    “ The activity of the body is made to depend, so far as we can yet see, almost wholly upon one process—the union of oxygen with its substance. An animal, physiologically con- sidered, is mainly a great oxidizing apparatus. .By the inces- sant performance of this process the living frame bee >mes full of power, which is manifested in the various modes familiar to our experience. The flame cf life is a state of burning—a process rather than a thing. A flux maintained by forces from without, and ceasing when they are withdrawn;—that is oar life.”—“ On HealthCornhill Magazine, vol. iii., p. 337.
