TitlePaper, 'On auto-infection in cardiac disease' by L C [Leonard Charles] Wooldridge
CreatorWooldridge; Leonard Charles (fl 1883-1889)
Date1889
DescriptionWooldridge writes: 'In 1886 [see PP/8/10] I described to the Royal Society a substance, one of the most noticeable features of which was that it caused intravascular clotting when injected into the circulation of an animal. In subsequent publications I have further described the action of this substance, or rather group of allied substances, and speak of them as fibrinogens. In particular, I pointed out in my papers in du Bois-Reymond’s ‘Archiv’, 1886, and in Ludwig’s ‘Festschrift’, 1887, that the lymph and chyle contained this substance.'
