Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Further than this, the publication of Pavlov's observations had the consequence of intensifying scientific interest in the general subject of the physiological effects of the emotions. In various countries, and not least in the United States, able scientists followed Pavlov's example. Some studied, as he was studying, emotional effects on the functioning of the digestive organs, confirming and extending his find ings. Others investigated the influence of the emotions on the heart, arteries, lungs, kidneys, liver, etc. This work of research still is in progress, and will long be in progress, owing to the vastness and com plexity of its subject-matter. But already many discoveries have been made, of far reaching importance as regards the conser vation and restoration of health.
