Sentences with SEPSIN (4)
Richardson has long contended for the doctrine first proposed by Panum, that a peculiar chemical agent, (called by Bergmann _sepsin_) is the cause of blood-poisoning from virulent absorption or inoculation.
Bergmann had extracted the sepsin from yeast, but Schmidt and Petersen (1869) were able to obtain it from putrefied blood.
Nevertheless, the separation of the sepsin or of the alkaloid of Zuelzer seemed to demand a talent in the manipulator which is not possessed by everybody, and rare are the chemists who possess it--so rare that these substances are not yet either officinally recognized or classified.
The chemical examinations of septicaemic blood which have heretofore been made have completely failed to give satisfactory results in regard either to the existence or nature of the materies morbi in this disease, although, without doubt, there has occasionally been found, principally in the blood of those who have died of acute septic intoxication, a poisonous substance, which Bergmann designated sepsin.
