Abstract
It was proved by a series of determinations that the viscosity of the “living” blood can be greatly influenced by changing the temperature of the surrounding medium. The viscosity was found markedly increased, if the dogs used in the experiments were immersed in water at 25° C. Warm water baths (42° C. to 45° C.) produced a corresponding decrease in the viscosity. The specific gravity of the blood was changed in a corresponding manner.
