BROWN-SÉQUARD Charles-Édouard (1817-1894) médecin et physiologiste
L.A.S. "C.E. Brown-Séquard",
Sainte-Adresse July 12, 1890, to a confrere| 3 pages in-8.
Reflections on the longevity of human life.
It depends on men whether the "wheel of life" turns more or less quickly. "...] The whole problem of increasing individual longevity consists, consequently, for Physiologists and Physicians, in finding what must be avoided and what must be done in order not to increase and, on the contrary, to delay the movement toward natural death.
Not to age before time and to age as late as possible, this is [...] what should concern those who love life or those who, without loving it, need it to last"...
This problem, which belongs more to hygiene than to medicine, has occupied his research for more than twenty years, but he only communicated the first results a year ago to the Biological Society. "I believe that I have succeeded in increasing the various powers of action of the nervous centres, without stimulating them, exciting them, putting them in play, that is to say, without making them diminish by the expenditure of their actions. The testicular liquid acts like strychnine, which does not determine any action and only increases the reflex power of the spinal cord. But the difference between strychnine and the other dynamogenizer is that the latter makes the excitability morbidly exaggerated so that the slightest excitation causes discharges of nervous force" .
