To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The energy is now di- verted, liberated, and the surplus, over and above that which is absorbed in formation, instead of slowly drib- bling off, gushes forth in a directed stream. The slow formation of a secretion in a gland-cell, and the discharge of that secretion, will illustrate this ; or (if muscular tone be admitted) the incipient contraction of the chronic state, and the complete contraction of the dynamic state, ' may also be cited. 164. The discharge which follows excitation may thus b...e view'ed as a directed quantity of molecular movement. Because it is always strictly relative to the energy of tension, and is inevitable ^vhen that tension attains a certain surplus over what is required in construction, there is a limit, 1°, to the growth and evolution of every organite, and every organism (comp. Problem I. § 118), and, 2°, to its dynamical effect. When there is no sur- fdns, the organite is incapable of discharge : it is then exhausted, i. E. Will not respond to stimulus.
