“The following ‘Lessons in Elementary Physiology’ are primarily intended
to serve the purpose of a text book for teachers and learners in boys’
and girls’ schools.”--“_Lessons in Elementary Physiology_,” London, 1866,
Preface, p. 1.
“If the vessels of a limb of a living animal be tied in such a manner as
to cut off the supply of blood from the limb, without affecting it in any
other way, all the symptoms of death will set in. The limb will grow pale
and cold, it will lose its sensibility and volition, the animal will no
longer have power over it; it will stiffen, and eventually mortify and
decompose.”--_Ibid._, p. 74.
“If in a living animal, the anterior roots of a spinal nerve be cut,
the animal loses all control over the muscles to which that nerve is
distributed, though the sensibility of the region of the skin supplied by
the nerve is perfect.… On the other hand, if the end of the sensory root
connected with the trunk be irritated, no apparent effect is produced,
while, if the end connected with the cord be thus served, violent pain
immediately follows.”--_Ibid._, p. 268.
