To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
There is, however, one experiment, easily performed, which proves the fallacy of this conclusion. The nervous energy is suspended or destroyed by the compression or section of the nerve, while the electrical matter is not arrested in its progress, provided, in the latter case, the cut ends of the nerve are brought in contact *. The effects of electricity on many of the organs concern- ed in the vital functions, in exciting them to action, may, at first sight, favour the supposition of its ident...ity. Thus, the action of the lungs, heart, and stomach, may be con- tinued for a short time, after the natural nervous influence has been removed. In these cases, however, although elec- tricity can act on the irritability of the muscles, it is proba- bly through the intervention of the nervous filaments, and may be occasioned by exciting the languishing energies of the inju red nerves, to expend the remainder of their strength. * See MONRO'S Anatomy, vol. Iii. P. 113. PHILOSOPHY OF ZOOLOGY. Of the elementary nature of this exciting power, we indeed know nothing.
