The Mining and Scientific Vress. Tne Purse.—The uction of the pulse will, po doubt, be of much interest to oar readers. Tt probably ia not known to piany that the pulze of a lemale exceeds in frequency thot of a male from ten to fyurteen beats per niaate. Many circuitstances influence its action, such ag muxcolur exertivn, mentul excitement, the state of the digestive orzuns, nnd the position of the body, whether lying, sitting, or stuuding. Muscular actiun and mental excitement, ua also the process of digestion, nuturally increaso i, it being much quicker during the process of digestion than wheu digestion has takeu lace. In healthy males. from twenty-five to thirty yeara of age, the nverage of the polse per miaute, in a standing position, is from ecverty-nine tovizhty-one, stlting, frome seventy-nine to ninely-one, nad lying dowa, from sixty-six to gixty-seven—making a difference of frow nine ty ten beats between standing and sitting, from funr to tive between sitting and lyrng, and from thirteen to fourteen beats between standing and lying. 1 healthy fetnales, of the same ave, it will be fonnd frum eiyhty-two to uinetyone, standing ; eility-one to eighty two si'ting, and eighty to eighty-utte lying. ‘The variatton in the diffureut positions is produced by the ntuscular action induced by the chungo of position. At the different periods of the day the pulse varies, 03, fur inatauce, in a healthy person it is most frequent in the ineraing, and gradually decreasvs toward eventug. After excitement, the diminution is greater and more regular it the evening thnu im the morning. Food has the caine effect on it ut these periods, for, in Matry instances, the same food thal will increase its amount and daration in thy morning, will, in the evening, hinve no effect whatever. Dur. iny the hours of eleep there is a greater dimtaation. The following tnble will show its variations al different periods of life, being greater in chitdhood than in old age, aad gradually dimiaishing as we grow older: Beats ner minute, to li Newly born infant... +130 to 140 During the first year . 115 to 10 Durlny the second year 100 to 115 During the third yeur 90 to 100 At the seventh year. + & to 90 Aye of puberly. és . 80 to 85 Marhooi, 70 to 8&2 Old aye.. 50 to 65 To Printers.
