Liebig J (1844) Lancet

Abstract: Neither heat, electricity, nor the vital principle, are capable of connecting the particles of two dissimilar elements into a group,-of uniting them into a compound;- this the chemical force alone is able to accomplish. .. The substance of the brain, of muscle, the constituents of blood, of milk, of bile, &c., are compound atoms, the formation and existance of which depends upon the affinity which acts between their ultimate particles,-their component elements. It is affinity, and no other power, which causes their aggregation. Separated from the living body, withdrawn from the influence of the vital principle, it is the chemical forces alone which determine the conditions of their ulterior existence.
