Description:Excerpt from The Hahnemannian Monthly, Vol. 54: January to December, 1919 Let us then take a less anthropomorphic view of the ani mal, man, in his relations to heat and moisture and wind, in order to formulate his problem more clearly. To begin with, the Egyptian mummy is a very dry fellow because he has lost the to per cent. Of water that was in life a part of him. Man is a moist, living mass of colloidal solutions, emul sions and jellies, supported on a small amount of mineral mat ter. He may be looked upon as similar to a 11v1ng sponge that in the past withdrew from his native element, the sea,30 and has since lived immersed and at the bottom of an ocean of more or less moist9 and more or less quiet air. This moist, spongy organism is constantly losing water by evaporation and by flow; if irremediable drying out is to be prevented water must be constantly poured into it. Any agency that disturbs the balance that ages of habit have established with respect to gain and loss of water, is potentially destructive to this organism, and it therefore reacts to such disturbances. For example, it is stated In such a place as Death Valley in summer, with the thermometer at 1000 to 135 in the shade, it is almost impossible to drink enough water to preserve normal physiological conditions. People who stay through the summer are in danger of suffering permanent injury to health.28 The problem of water balance in this organism is accompanied inseparably by a similar problem of heat balance. This organism is constantly losing heat, and must constantly have heat put into it if irremediable damage is to be avoided. Any agency that disturbs the balance that ages of habit has established with respect to gain and loss of heat is potentially destructive to this organism, and it there fore reacts to such disturbances. From the highest air tem peratures 'man experiences in some of the industries, to the lowest met in polar explorations, is about but if the changes are not too sudden and unexpected, man is usually able to contrive a way to survive. Studies of artificial hiber nation produced at will in certain other warm-blooded animals have led to the conclusion that all the arrangements in the animal economy for the production and loss of heat are them selves fully regulated by the central nervous system, there be ing a thermogenic center - situated above the spinal cord, and according to some observers, in the optic thalamus.32 The source of his heat, as of the rest of his energy, is his food, and on a calorie diet he turns out, as heat33 alone, some where around enough energy to raise five and a half million pounds one foot vertically against gravity.
