WHY WE TREMBLE.
The Nerve Actions SuperinduceG by
Cold, Fear and Anger.

The Nerve Actions Superfnduce1 by
Cold, Fear and Anger.
Cold, by stimulating the sensory
nerve endings i'll the skin. produces Il
corresponding irritation i'll the brain
motor centers and by contracting the
blood vessels in the skin produces
temporary excess of blood in the brain.
This interfereS with the steady flow of
nerve force to the muscles. 50 that the
spasmodic action of these nerve cur
rents produces the trembling due to
cold.
Of trembling from fear OF anger Oar
win gives this explanation: Men dur
ing long generations have endeavored
to escape from their enemies by hight
OF violent struggling. These cause
breathlessneSS and trembling of the
muscles. Whenever fear is felt the
same results tend to appear through
the force of Inheritance and association.
Just as furious rage leads persons to
make violent attacks on the object OF
their resentment, SO in milder cases,
though no such attack may be made,
the beginning of violent exertion =
namely, trembling of the muscles
tends to show itself. But the chief
cause of trembling from fear or anger
is, according To the same authority,
the interruption or disturbance of the
transmission OF nerye force from the
ccrch"o s!,.nal system. due to mental
agitation. Why or how these emotions
affect the cereiro spinal system
through tic mind i'll this way is not
known
