Brain Stimulation.

Tho anatOmiSt is familiar with the fact
that there are two large nerves OF -Cnsa-
ton known as the "filth pair which
are distributed to the top Of the head
and face. and to the mucous membrane
OF the mouth, nose and eyes. Thee
nerves are closely connected with the
nerves which control the action of the
heart aud Of the blood vessels. By their
stimulation the hearts action may be
increased. This explains the fact that
application of cold water or cold air TO
the face is one of the 6e3, means of re-.
viving a person who has fallen in syn
cope. 1t is curious fact that people OF
all nations are accustomed, when IN any
difficulty, to stimulate one or another
branch Of the fifth nerve, and quicken
their mental processes. Thus, some
persons, when puzzled, scratch their
heads, others rub their forehcads, aud
others stroke or pull their boards, thus
stimulating the occipital, frontal, or
mental branches OF these nerves. Many
Germans, when thinking, have a habit
Of striking their fingers against 'he"
noses, and thus stimulating the nasal
cutancous branches, white in other coUn'
tries some people stimulate The branches
distributed to the Mucous membrane Of!
the nose by taking snuff. The late Lord
Derby, when TRANSMITTING Homer, was
accustomed to eat branded cherries.
One man will eat figs while composing
leading article; another will suck
chocolate creams; others will smoke
cigarettes, and others sip brandy and
water. BY these means they stimulate
the lingual and buccll branches OF the
nerve, and thus rcilcxly excite their
brains. Alcohol appears TO excite cir.
culation through the brain rcilcNly from
the mouth, and to stimulate the heart
rclleXly from the stomach, even before
it is absorbed into blood. Shortly after
it has been swallowed, however, it i,
