Magendie read a report on an instrument invented by a Dr. Herisson, called the ‘sphygmometer’, and intended to measure the state of the pulse... The bottom of the instrument is placed over the radial artery, each pulsation of which elevates the mercury, and thus discloses to the eye the minutest variation of the circulation.
