' ' The facts of delirium are also best ex- plained as a result of the suspension, through paralysis of their inhibitory nerves, of the control of higher centers over lower ones, which then run riot with their unchecked fancies or ideas. That this is true is proven by the fact that just such disorders can be 250 PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS imitated by administering agents like opimn and alcohol, wliicli, as we know by experi- ments on animals, have this same property of paralyzing nerve inhibition, ...whether in the brain or in the spinal cord. A well-balanced brain, therefore, is one which, when some one center starts an idea, waits till the answer comes from all the other nerve centers which have communicating fibers with that center as to what they also think about it.
One other fact also should be mentioned here. ^'As quick as thought^' is a prover- bial phrase which a physiologist would not care to use, for he has ingeniously devised means by which to measure the rate of trans- mission of a nerve impulse both up a sensory nerve and down a motor one, with the result that it averages about 180 feet a second in the first, and 160 in the second instance.
