Thus the cell is enabled to absorb nutritive earthy material from thi blood containing an element of force in a latent form, possibly this earthy material becomes centralized around some point representing a magnetized pole of the cell. Another point may have an affinity for the solar energy as contained within the hemoglobin of the blood. This point may act as another magnetic pole, thus the elements of force may bo drawn from the blood and uniting within the cell constitute vital fore? capable of being manifested in the various phenomena of such vital activities as the cell may be able to produce. In vital action, as in th3 higher forms of life, it may be that certain cells are possessed with a greater affinity for certain force-producing elements, as the neurones of the brain and spinal cord may have the power to absorb and accumulate solar energy, while the cells of the sympathetic nervous system may have a greater capacity and affinity for the earthy elements of force within the blood. Thus the two distinct elements of force may accumulate in different portions of the body, as distinguished by the ganglia of the brain and cord as distinct from those of the sympathetic nervous system. Thus elements of force not required for immediate use within the body may become stored as dynamic energy for future use, to assist cell action in cases of emergencies, when the blood may fail to supply the requisite energy necessary to maintain bot...
