The condition to this irritability is that the nerve center and track are sound. if this vigor vanishes, reflex phenomena are hor visit a little earlie at an end, and suffering, physiologically speaking, is impossible, Ei of the ar. rest of the function of the sympathetic. Under these conditions there is no hysical or mental recoil from death.
