Abstract

The phenomena of the separation of substances by 'Various membranes was first -discovered by Thomas Graham, who found that certain materials passed through membranes much more readily than others. This consequently afforded him a norm by which he distinguished a variety of substances. Those which passed through the membrane most readily he called crystalloids, because of their crystalline nature. Those which were retained colloids, because of their gelatinous or glue like consistency. The distinguishing factor is however not a legitimate one, because it has been proven by Dr. Kahlenberg that opposite reactions occur.
