Blood Thickness. On the principle that a stone falls more rapidly than a feather (through a medium) because of its greater density, a quick means of testing the thickness of blood was devised by timing its rate of descent through water.

The additional liquid is provided by nature so that the blood may not become too thick through the loss of water by perspiration...
