HALL, See also:MARSHALL (1790-1857) , See also:English physiologist, was See also:born on the 18th of See also:February 1790, at Basford, near See also:Nottingham, where his See also:father, See also:Robert Hall, was a See also:cotton manufacturer. Having attended the Rev. J. See also:Blanchard's See also:academy at Notting-See also:ham, he entered a chemist's See also:shop at See also:Newark, and in 18o9 began to study See also:medicine at See also:Edinburgh University. In 1811 he was elected See also:senior See also:president of the Royal Medical Society; the following See also:year he took the M.D. degree, and was immediately appointed See also:resident See also:house physician to the Royal Infirmary, Edinburgh. This See also:appointment he resigned after two years, when he visited See also:Paris and its medical See also:schools, and, on a walking
1 The See also:tomb of See also:Sir See also:John See also:Beauchamp (d. 1358) in old St See also:Paul's was commonly known, in See also:error, as that of See also:Duke See also:Humphrey of See also:Gloucester. " To dine with Duke Humphrey " was to go hungry among the debtors and beggars who frequented " Duke Humphrey's Walk " in the See also:cathedral
tour, those also of See also:Berlin and See also:Gottingen. In 1817, when he settled at Nottingham, he published his Diagnosis, and in 1818 he wrote the Mimoses, a See also:work on the affections denominated bilious, See also:nervous, &c. The next year he was elected a See also:fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and in 1825 he became physician to the Nottingham See also:general See also:hospital. In 1826 he removed to See also:London, and in the following year he published his Commentaries on the more important diseases of See also:females. In 183o he issued his Observations on See also:Blood-letting, founded on researches on the morbid and curative effects of loss of blood, which were acknowledged by the medical profession to be of vast See also:practical value, and in 1831 his Experimental See also:Essay on the Circulation of the Blood in the Capillary Vessels, in which he showed that the blood-channels intermediate between See also:arteries and See also:veins serve the See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office of bringing the fluid blood into contact with the material tissues, of the See also:system. In the following year he read before the Royal Society a See also:paper " On the inverse ratio which subsists between Respiration and Irritability in the See also:Animal See also:Kingdom." His most important work in See also:physiology was concerned with the theory of reflex See also:action, embodied in a paper " On the reflex See also:Function of the Medulla Oblongata and the Medulla Spinalis
(1832), which was supplemented in 1837 by another" On the True See also:Spinal Marrow, and the Excito-motor System of Nerves." The " reflex function " excited See also:great See also:attention on the See also:continent of See also:Europe, though in See also:England some of his papers were refused publication by the Royal Society. Hall thus became the authority on the multiform deranged states of See also:health referable to an abnormal See also:condition of the nervous system, and he gained a large practice. His " ready method " for resuscitation in drowning and other forms of suspended respiration has been the means of saving innumerable lives. He died at See also:Brighton of a See also:throat See also:affection, aggravated by lecturing, on the 11th of See also:August 1857.
A See also:list of his See also:works and details of his " ready method," &c., are given in his See also:Memoirs by his widow (London, 1861).
