from such cigar would not injure the

HIS AMPUTATED ARM.
Why the Old Soldier Felt the Buried Mem
ber Giving Him Pain.

Der Giving Him Pain.
An old Confederate soldier living at
Macon, N. c., and who was so unfortu-
nate as to iDse his right arm during the
war between the states, always complained
of the fingers of the dead and buried hand
giving him excessive pain. Finally some
one suggested that the arm be disinterred
and an examination made This was ac-
cordingly done, when 1t was found stone
weighing several pounds was lying across
Che fingers. The stone was removed, the
arm carefully wrapped In straw and again
buried. From that time forward the sol
dier made no further complaint Of painful
sensations in the lost arm.
Some curious persons who heard the
above story related substantially as 1t Is
here, sent II to Professor Edward G. Sptz-
kn, who was at that time professor of anat-
omy and physiology of the nervous system
In the New York Post Graduate Medical
school, asking IL such sensations in dead
and buried limb were possible, and il so,
why' The reply is reproduced word for
word below:
1T is well established fact that after
limbs have been amputated tho person
feels certain sensations at times which
seem TO originate in the parts which have
been removed. The explanation advanced
by the leading psychologists is that the
nerves are pressed at the end of the stump
and that the pain is referred by the mind,
through habit, to the former termination
OF the sensory lines, the position, cramped
or otherwise, of the buried parts having
nothing whatever to do with the sensations
conveyed to the brain. Fancy rath-
er than fact has all to do with these cases
OF imaginary sensations being sent to the
brain from the removed parts. II results
such as you mention in the case of the old
soldier could follow because Of stone ly-
Ing across the dead fingers, striking the
arm with a hammer or stone
would naturally have caused much great
or sensation Of pain. st Louis Republic.
