Coagulation of the Blood. –according to Dr. Draper, of New York, 20,000,000 die at a single breath! Blood when exposed to the air coagulates, and the value of this peculiar yet intrinsic property cannot be overestimated. Win and archery is ruptured bleeding takes place, the blood coagulates and forms a plug, thus preventing further hemorrhage.thus we observe with what divine foresight and wisdom, not only the wants of the body are provided for, but also the incidents to which it is liable.

At the beginning of this topic I started to assume that the author was referring to the death of blood cells in the number of 20 million as opposed to people or something else. Even the book with a section heading it sounds a little sensational. The description of coagulation wasn’t too bad and it made sense and then the author seemed to lose his scientific perspective again and started talking about the divine and basically spouting some relative nonsense which again makes me do believe that the author had reached the extent of his knowledge. I think he was just basically filling in the text with more words. If I didn’t know better I would suspect the author was being paid by the word and basically was just paid three times over what that information was worth.

Actually, come to think of it, I do not know better. I have done some external research to attempt to identify the bonafides of the author and the editors, but have so far come up short in that department. I couldn’t verify their credentials as medical professionals any more than I could say that they were masons that specialized in the construction of outdoor fireplace settings.
