Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of Women and Children, Vol. 55: January-June, 1907 Crile, in his essay on surgical shock, gives a record of 148 experiments on dogs, extremely interesting and valuable.

Autopsy showed the heart and arteries empty and the veins full. Experiment IV. - Crushing the feet caused a great rise in blood pressure.
