An Investigation into the Fragility and Solubility of the Red Blood-cells in Mental Disease

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  19 February 2018

Extract

The objects of this investigation were to find out in what respect the resistance to hæmolysis of the red blood-corpuscles differs in mental disease from the normal, and to make a contribution towards the elucidation of pathological mental states and their relationship to pathological states of organs of the body other than the brain.
