Not illustrated. 1885 Excerpt: ...are lost in the paralyzed limbs. But if these paralyzed limbs are irritated, as by pricking the soles of the feet, then the legs kick out vigorously. The injured person does not feel the pricking, and can exercise no control over the kicking legs. There is here no conscious action whatever. This unconscious action is the result of reflex action of the spinal cord. It is called reflex because the impression does not go to the brain, but is "reflected," meaning "to turn back again," to the seat of injury, from the sensory nerves through the motor nerves. 132. Importance of Reflex Action.--We rarely stop to think how important reflex action is to our health, comfort, and safety. Because we are able to do hundreds of things every day without any effort of the will, we are apt to forget its importance. In fact, the greater part of nerve-power expended in the body goes to produce these 1 Muscles Eye Fig. 44.--Diagrams showing the mechanism of a simple reflex action: 1, surface, say of mucous membrane; 2, muscle; A, sensory nerve; B, reflex centre; C, motor nerve. numberless reflex actions. We are not so independent as one would at first think. Ten thousand acts take place, which tend to govern and preserve our health. We have as little control over them as we do over the stars above us. We have already been told of a few reflex acts. Let us call to mind a few more familiar illustrations. If our feet slip on the ice, without the effort of the will, the body tends to recover itself. The mind does not act, at least in the ordinary way, to pull the fingers away when they touch a hot stove. We try to brush the flies away when we are asleep. By an effort of the will, we can stop our breath for a moment or two: but soon the call for air is imperative...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

As noted in the Preface, "This is a book of stories (published in 1899) about the Civil War. It is not a history—only a book of stories edited for school and home use. Our aim has not been to crowd the mind with facts, but to arouse in the younger generation a lively interest in the brave men who fought in the war for the Union.We have tried to present a series of pictures of our national life during the late war, around which a fuller knowledge of the course of its history may gather.These stories are designed to interest as well as to instruct young people, and to excite in their minds a keen desire to know more of the noble deeds of their fathers and grandfathers, who sacrificed so much during this momentous period of our country’s history."You will enjoy these 42 stirring stories of soldiers, spies, generals, and everyday people--young and old. You will honor those in the past as we strive for a better future.

Not illustrated. 1910 edition. Excerpt: ...the influence of the narcotic on the nervous system, but a morbid state of the larynx, trachea, and lungs results from the direct action of the smoke.--Dr. Laycock, Professor of Medicine in the University of Edinburgh. ADDITIONAL EXPERIMENTS Experiment 82. To show how the lungs may be filled with air. Take one of the lungs saved from Experiment 78. Tie a glass tube six inches long into the larynx. Attach a piece of rubber to one end of the glass tube. Now inflate the lungs several times and let them collapse. Experiment 83. To show that the expired air contains carbon dioxide. Put a glass tube into a bottle of lime water and blow through the tube. The liquid will soon become cloudy, because the carbon dioxide of the expired air unites with the lime held in solution and forms the white, solid carbonate of lime. Experiment 84. To illustrate the manner in which the?novements of inspiration cause the air to enter the lungs. Fit up an apparatus, as represented in Fig. 93, in which a stout glass tube is provided with a sound cork, B, and also an airtight piston, D, resembling that of an ordinary syringe. A short tube, A, passing through the cork, has a small India-rubber bag, C, tied to it. Fit the cork in the tube while the piston is near the top. Now, by lowering the piston, we increase the capacity of the cavity containing the bag. The pressure outside the bag is thus lowered, and air rushes into it through the tube, A, till a balance is restored. The bag is thus stretched. As soon as we push up the piston, the elasticity of the bag, being free to act, drives out the air just taken in, and the piston returns to its former place. In this experiment the elastic bag and its tube represent the lungs and trachea, and the glass vessel enclosing it...
