Indeed, no other account has been met with, wherein the modern methods of precision have been applied to the question at all; the other testimony being all rather loose and indefinite, often at second or third hands, or from the narratives of more or less enthusiastic travelers.

Any agent that would contract the supply vessels of the terminal bulbs of the sensitive nerves, and press out the blood from them, would to the same extent lessen...
