1871 E. D. Cope Origin Fittest (1887) v. 205 I discard the use of the term ‘Vital Force’, what was originally understood by that term being a complex of distinct ideas. The Vital forces are (nerve-force) Neurism, (growth-force) Bathism, and (thought-force) Phrenism.

1880 E. D. Cope in Amer. Naturalist 14 176 The decomposition of the nutritive fluids within living animals gives rise, in the appropriate tissues, to exhibitions of different kinds of forces. These are, motion in all classes; heat in some only; ..in many, phrenism or mental or thought-force.

1921 S. Paton Human Behavior x. 318 This change seems to begin coincidently with the lowering of the growth force (bathism), which in turn diminishes the directing capacity of the brain (phrenism) and nerve system (neurism).
