Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological effects of drowning and hanging, offering a theory that excess carbon in the bloodstream causes death. The author argues that while earlier theories focused on water in the lungs or cerebral apoplexy as the cause of death, these theories are disproven by experiments conducted in this study. Instead, the author posits that lack of oxygen and the buildup of carbon dioxide in the blood leads to a loss of nervous energy and eventually death. This theory has implications for treating these conditions, with the author emphasizing the importance of artificial respiration in restoring circulation and purifying the blood to save lives.
