To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Bloch in 1897 invented a curious apparatus for measuring this respiratory sensibility. The subject is obliged to breathe through a tube the end of which is closed by a window of calculated dimensions. A screw allows you gradually to reduce the dimensions of the window, and the subject, whose eyes are shut, must indicate at what moment he feels a difficulty in breath- ing. The figures obtained vary pretty much with the sub- ject, the hour of the day, and the movements the sub- ject has just made..., but I have been able to observe that in hystericals the figures are often very different and infinitely smaller. The patient indicates only very late the need to breathe, much later than a normal indi- vidual would do, when she is already half suffocated. This phenomenon shows a special unconsciousness of the respiratory need, which is to a certain extent com- parable to anorexy ; that is to say, to the unconsciousness of hunger. These disturbances of the sensibility are accompanied with motor disturbances of which the subjects are more or less conscious.
