NWILSONIA AND PHYSICIANS,
New Article Sept. 21st.

At the conclusion of our last article we were con- thetic or it's influences upon the circulation of the blood. Without giving detailed account of the View to ascertain these properties only to mention them 10 show the vast power Of the cell, eanglion1c, vital this great nerve upon irritation, congestion, inflammation and all their sequelae, in other words disease itself gen. that all these properties do not belong to the ssmps
 thetic system Independently, but that they result erywhere, wherever their distribution occurs be- tween this system and the cerebros spinal system, that the expression continuity is the last of organization" used by distinguished anatomist and physiologis is true in every respect Lastly, respects anatomical detail we will only make men ton of what are called trophic centres of the vous system. This term from the Greek, to nourish, indicates the existence of certain trophc cells and nerves, depots Of nervous matter, from which arise the motor nerves that supply the muscular pow CTS of the body These centres are to be found in the antere-lateral portions of the spinal cord, and pathology has proved that in cases of progressive muscular atropy, or wasting of the muscular struc- lures, corresponding degeneration of the trophic cells and centres has been observed This is equally modih cation of 1t in the sceross of ocomotor atax
 ia-Cells and Ganga, the generators of vital force. From what we have seen of the functional activities and the extensive powers exercised by those nerves which are largely endowed with cell and gAngnonic attributes, both respects their origin from vital portions of the brain medulIa oblongata and spinal cord, and because of collateral contributions which tions we are fully iustied in ascribing to the cells and ganglia of the brain, medulla oblongata spinal inF. mansans and conveying the vital forces of the body By them all the activities of the organism impe1led, whether manfesting themselves in the op
 eratons of the special senses, in general sensation and motion, in the individual and collective tions of the various organs in ne in all the tia powers which unite to constitute life and the phenomena of life. Brief mention may also be here made of certain remarkable cell centres whose vital force is proved by experimental physiology to be pended in special directions and for specific purpos es- We allude to what is called the genito spinal centre located in the spinal cord and opposite the 4th lumbar vertsbra. From this centre proceed nerves whose influence felt by the organs of gen. eration. The may be said of the "celio spinal centre" and it's physiological effects the Iris of the eye and upon vision. Lastly, that most remark able experiment. of Claude Bernard by which by ir- rtaon of the floor of the 4th ventrice of the brain in living animal he witnessed the influences upon the liver through which it's gycogsnic sugar-mak- ing powers called into operation, may cited as among the wonder-working attributes of these nerve cells and centres To be extended Sept. 2S.
