To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These two processes, the formation of tissue by bioplasm, and the pro- duction of new bioplasm by the appropriation of nutritive matters, proceed at the same time. What physical or chemical operation yet dis- covered can be compared with these nutritive and formative processes ? Between the two sets of phenomena, physical and vital, not the faintest analogy can be shown to exist. The idea of a particle of muscular or nerve tissue being formed by a process akin to crystallisa- tion, appears ridi...culous to anyone who has studied the phenomena, or who is acquainted with the structure of these tissues. It is dif- ficult to conceive how anyone who had thought over the facts, which are well known to every working student of physiology, could have suc- ceeded in so misleading himself and others, as even to hint that the formation of tissue of any kind could be explained by physics and chem- istry. There is not the shadow of argument founded upon fact, or upon the results of obser- vation, to give countenance to such a doctrine.
