He considered that the respiratory symptoms produced at high altitudes were due to lack of carbon dioxide.

He also invented a sphygmomanometer for registering the blood pressure in the finger. The subject of this book is a study he undertook in 1894 at Monte Rosa, in the eastern Pennine Alps, at an elevation of about 14,000 feet. Large format book.
