Living bodies GROW by the operation of chemi- cal force, which exhibits in them a twofold action, and produces substances which tend to decompose ; on the same principle that gravitation in a fountain causes water to rise by the effect of its fall. So chemical change, or decomposition, causes the nourishment of the body, and the two opposite pro- cesses of growth and decay proceed in mutual depen- dence. This law is easily understood by fixing the thoughts on any case in which an action of o...ne kind produces another that is opposite to itself: the move- ment of a pendulum, for example, in which the downward motion produces the upward, and the upward furnishes the conditions under which the downward can again take place. It is thus chemical action produces the vital action ; and the vital action furnishes the conditions under which the chemical action can again take place. Living bodies, then, grow through decay, or through chemical processes IS LIFE UNIVERSAL? 129 which are equivalent to decay, and which resemble it in producing force.
