Cause of Goosefiesh.

Goosefesh is the contraction of the
little muscles, called arrector papillae,
which are found penetrating the bulbs
in the skin at the base of every hair
on the human body. These muscles
are contracted in response to nervous
impulses from the sympathetic" nery
Gus system. 1t has always been
thought that only exposure to cold or
nervous sho, could cause goosefiesh,
but recent experiments show that If
person plunses the lower half of the
body suddenly into pleasantly warm
water gooseflesh will appear.
