_Anæsthesia_ causes awkwardness or uncertainty of movement, especially if the subject is blindfolded. _Anæsthesia_ may be =induced by medicine=, as in the general anæsthesia of etherisation, or the local anæsthesia caused by the topical application of cocaine or carbolic acid. =Analgesia=, or insensibility to pain, may be present in cases in which ordinary sensations are still felt. It may be caused by cocaine, alcohol, and to some extent by carbolic acid. =Hyperalgesia= is the opposite of this condition, and may be seen in certain irritable conditions of the nerve centres. PSYCHIC SYMPTOMS AND DISORDERS. Limitation in lower animals. Effects of age training, race heredity, individual and racial peculiarities, exhaustion, prostration, dementia, cerebral congestion, compression, degeneration, narcotics, ptomaines, toxins. Controlling absorption in another trouble. Delusions, hallucinations, vice, violence, œstrum, fatigue. Cerebral source of motions. These have a much more restricted field in the lower animals than in man in keeping with the limitation of the mental faculties, and they may often be traced to demonstrated structural disorder. Yet some emotions of joy, fear or rage run very high and are comparatively unchecked by high mental development or mental training. The effect of training is, however, very marked in the more educated animals. =Age= modifies by the sobering that comes from experience and habit. The frolics of puppies, kittens, lambs, foals and calves are in marked contrast with the sedateness and stolidity of old dogs, cats, sheep or cattle. =Training= is seen in the educated horse which would have been panic stricken at sight of a locomotive, flag or floating paper, at the smell of a lion or bear, at the sound of a gun or drum, and which will now boldly face any one of these with no manifest tremor. The emotional puppy can be trained to soberly fetch and carry, to drive sheep or cattle without biting, to lie sentinel by his master’s property, to point at birds without seeking to catch them, or to carry shot birds without devouring them. =Race heredity= comes from the training along the same lines in many successive generations. Thus the more domesticated breeds of dogs (shepherd, poodle, and greyhound) are very affectionate; other breeds (bull, mastiff, bloodhound) are lacking in this character. All trained races take naturally to the occupations of their ancestors. Some (horses, cattle and sheep) are easily panic-stricken, (stampeded). Some (turkeys, roosters) are not easily stampeded. Some (skunks), having effective sources, of defence, have little fear of man.
