be-tween the 3rd and 4th dorsal spines, its specificity as revealedby definite areas of ventral dulness (Fig. 74) may be demon-strated. This action is dependent on stimulation of thedepressor nerve. Physiologically, a nerve is endowed with differentfunctions. The vagus has fibers which control the rhythmicity, irri-tabihty, conductivity, contracility and tonicity of the heart. All physical phenomena are forms of motion and accord-ing to the energy conveyed, specific fibers of the depressor *The pathology of the S()lanchnic Circulation was first exhaustively discussedin the authors work Splanchnic Neurasthenia, E.

A like phenomenon iq. i.) is noted with the reflexophone. A simple conducting cord (Fig. 19) is used; one electrodeof which is approximated to the source of pathological energ>and the other, between the 3rd and 4th dorsal spines.
