Of its truth some of you will probably find opportunities of giving practical demonstrations. Putting all the force possible into muscular contractions by great effort of the will leads to sensory impressions so vividly felt as to be not far short of painful. The physiognomist would find that the expres- sion in a man's face finishing a hard mile race was similar to that of a person undergoing torture. Finally, intensely powerful muscular contrac- tions independent of the will or control send u...p impulses which, being too acute to be realised as definite impressions, become horribly painful. In lockjaw or the convulsions of strychnine poisoning the agony is hideous. So, too, where the utmost efforts are made by the muscles to ward off suffocation the suffering is propor- tionately intense.

They discharge their functions B 1 8 THE NATURE AND in the same way.
