The Funny Bone.

A most unpleasant sensation is
caused by the violent excitation Of the
ulnar nerve due to blow on the ell
bow. This nerve passes down on the
inner side Of the arm and then rather
ineonsiderately bends round and en-
ters the forearm at the back Of the
elbow joint. Any one who has felt
his neighbor's elbow sticking into his
ribs knows that the elbow is remark
ably deficient in flesh. The nerve is
therefore at this point very near the
surface and has little to shield It from
a blow. If we give our elbow a smart
tap we obtain a practical conhrma-
ton Of the fact that the ulnar nerve
is the principal sensory nerve OF the
