The Baumgarten-Tangl law is a rule about tuberculosis: it states that the location where the bacteria intruded is the one where the inflammation can be observed first.
The law was first published in 1890 by Franz Tangl and verified in 1905 by Paul Clemens von Baumgarten.
Famous quotes containing the word law:
“Nor has science sufficient humanity, so long as the naturalist overlooks the wonderful congruity which subsists between man and the world; of which he is lord, not because he is the most subtile inhabitant, but because he is its head and heart, and finds something of himself in every great and small thing, in every mountain stratum, in every new law of color, fact of astronomy, or atmospheric influence which observation or analysis lay open.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
