Rain, Nerves And Amputations

W yAR wounds and amputations have aroused a dis
NJ cussOn whether possible to feel pain in
bers which have been cut off. If the IS
putated does the patient aterward seem to tee pain IN
the missing hand? On side of the discussion it IS
claimed this is physiologcay impossible that pain in the
hand only be gnaed to the brain by the in the
hand and since the hand gone and the with it.
there can be no sensation of pain there
On the contrary there numerous well authenticated
instances which tend prove that sensation Of pain
missing members be felt and IS felt There story
about man, Of whose legs amputated and
essy buried He out Of the anesthetc and complained
Of Of crampng the missing leg and begged
someone to straghten It out for him The sensation only
relieved when the leg exhumed and Strengthened
This may be pure fiction but Cappers Weekly tells Of
business Darby, Pa who had been complaining Of
pain his left foot though he lost his left leg at the hip
by amputation nearly 40 years ago.
former justice of the peace in Tucson underwent
aHputation of the elbow years ago He
often complained aerward of intense itching apparently
IN the missing hand and what made it more aggravang
was that although he greatly desired to scratch there
nothing to scratch.
soldier of the British overseas forces contributes to
of the London papers experience almost without
parallel He lost his left hand and part of the by
amputation following wound received in battle There
after ordinarily he experienced particular discomfort
but every Thursday morning at about $3.50 O'clock he felt
as though his left hand were gripping something with
crauping pressure This followed by intense pain
After experiencing the phenomenon few times recalled
that It Thursday that he shot while making
charge with his troops before dawn He shot through
the left hand and, being left handed he carrying his
pistol In that hand The sensation Of crampng he could
only explain as probably due to his tight grip the pistol
sensation Of which he obvous at the time because
of his excitement.
There but one conclusion TO be reached from these
experiences If true, the of the Tucson ofl Is
known to BE- and that IS that the of sensation rot
necessarily IN the nerve IN closest proximity to the
in which pain is felt for instance nerve in finger
toe OF palm Of the hand but that very much far
ther up the body may inform the brain Of injury in the
distant member Thus when there IS a sensation of pain
In missing foot It Is evident that nerve possibly IN the
stump has received shock of kind and is making
report TO the brain though the whole were intact
clear to the missing member But It is impossible to explain
why the soldier fe the crampng sensation pain IN his
missing hand only on the week day and at the hour he re-
eyed his wound Nor IS there anything in physiology to
indicate that sensation Of pain might be connected with
the burial Of an amputated limb in cramped position
That much probably has been invented Just to make good
story better.

Salaries OF Road Heads.
The presidents of many large lines
now receive salaries ranging from
$4,000 to S150.000 a year and one OF
the first acts of the director general
probably win be to cut these sharply.
Some railroad men predicted that the
officers would accept these reductions
willingly in view Of the fact that they
are virtually drafted for war work.
The saving in salaries would be APP
