SIGNED by the author."Martin devised a form of perfusion of the isolated mammalian heart — one of the greatest single contributions ever to come from an American physiological laboratory" (Garrison-Morton). The Irish-born physiologist co-wrote Practical Instruction in Elementary Biology with Thomas Huxley. At Johns Hopkins he developed the first isolated mammalian heart lung preparation, which was later used by E.H. Starling to further the knowledge of the function of the heart.
