perimcnls Of Professor Muller, Of Weiss
NIGHT, on resivifcsiion bad time Ia. cool
before another series Of sxpcrimentsby
the same psychologist, and no less respect
ably authenticated, startles the world OF
science. II Is necessary TO premise that
the views Of physiologists respecting the
mode Of activity Of the brain have recent
ly, undergone great modification, and the
correctness Of the modern ideas II fully
supported by. the, .ex perimsnis. 10 which
we refer. II was formerly imagined, and
1t Is still largely taught, that the nsitity
Of the brain depended upon the Sfcrces
liberated by certain CELLS in the gray nat
ter Of that ofgan, which We're supposed to
be the seat Of very active changes de-
handing abundant supply Of blood
Nervs-force was supposed 10 be set at lib
erty in these cells, its liberation being at
tended with tina production Of heat. But
these views havs not been die to endure
the. close scrutiny to,which, thu brain has
recently been subjected. The microscope
has shown that, these, oellsS these supposed
nerve-force producers are obly . thedns of
interchange OF nervous flaments, q pro-
vision for the distribution of te legraph-
wires, as IL were, not active centers, not
batteries liberating vital force Of any
kind. 1t has been proved that in death
from starvation, when tho stomach has
been unable to receive, retain or de
gest food, while all the reSt OF the, body
loses weight, such is not the case with the
brain substances propent Ilp. case of sud-
den death the muscles have been found
producing heat long after life is extinct,
wilhelm the brain no. heat b libefSted af-
tar death, although the brain may be
gorged with blood. The Inference drawn
from these facts, as well as from the in
tegrity Of tho brainsin all ,manner of dis
eases, is that this organ Is one of slug
gish nutritive changes, an inert instru.
ment, played upon by forces which have
their origin elsewhere than In the brain
matter. Furihsrmore nerves. and brain
substance, when divided, reunits as readi-
ly as tendon, or skin, or mucous men,
brsnes and the nervous phsnomena inter.
rnpted by the wound or seoiion are re-ss-
abolished when. the wound hAs healed. All
agree on this pointt And as
skin, or periosteum, or mucous membrane
can be transplanted, as surgeons well
know and constantly demonstrate in nrac.
