. Travels amongst the great Andes of the equator . , in regard to this subject, as to the effects which will be producedin hours from experiments extending over minutes. Although it has been pointed out that the artificial inhalation of oxygenwas not found necessary at the pressures which are dealt with in this volume,I by no means decry its use, or entertain the opinion that it is is unlikely to result from any quantity that a mountain-travellerwill be able to imbibe, but it will always be found difficult to take such anamount as can yield substantial benefit.
