ut is matter OF common knOwl-
edge that Il person who has had II leg
or IN arm amputatcd will afterward
complain of feeling rains or aches in
the toes or the fingers of the amputat
ch member. as they put it, or, more
properly. in the extremity OF what
would have been the limb had it not
been ampuiated," said Washington
physician.
Some people are inclined to doubt
that these sensations exist in the
minds of the patient, while others
who are willing to accept it are at a
loss to understand the cause of the
compl, int The reason is comparH
lively simple, though it is not general
ly understood.
If mans leg be fractured and
crushed from the knee down. for i'll
stance, he will complain, before ampu.
tatiOn, and often aftcrward. OF pain in
his foot and toes. He does not feel
parts. This is because the pain is felt
at the termination of the nerves of
sensation in the foot of the injured
limb. and not along their course.
1T is upon this principle that n man
complains of Il pain in his foot when
the foot is cut off. The pain is really
in the stump of the limb, but the sen
satory nerves refer it to the former
termination of the nerves. This refer
rncp acts upon the brain to the extent
OF causing the patient to seem to feel
the ache iii the place where the foot
formerly was Washington Star.
