That the function of respiration, in some measure, contributes to assimilation is at least a probable opinion, and we may also suppose, that the consequence of the transudation which is carried on from all the surfaces of the body may have its effect in discharging any redundant quantity of water; but, except these, we are not acquainted with any processes which can affect the constitution of the blood, while it remains in the larger vessels. We know, however, that it is principally in these vessels that it acquires its characteristic properties, more especially that the fibrin obtains its peculiar texture and its power of spontaneous coagulation, which existed in a less perfect degree at least in the chyle, and this is still more remarkably the case with the colouring matter. It appears to be pretty well established, that the substance which gives the red colour to the blood is the vesicle that surrounds the globule; it may also be laid down as a point which is generally admitted by physiologists, that although this substance contains iron, yet that the iron is not the immediate cause of the red colou...
