Excerpt from Before the Doctor Comes: A Ready Reference Book, Giving the Symptoms of Common Diseases, and Indicating Proper Emergency Treatment in Case of Sudden Illness or Accident Pending the Physician's Arrival
Nerves are either motor or sensory. The former transmit to the muscles orders sent by the brain; the latter transmit sensations from the surface of the body to the brain. If a motor nerve is cut, all the muscles controlled by that nerve cease to move; if a sensory nerve is out, so much of the surface of the body as uses that nerve, loses the sense of feeling. When a person is paralyzed, the cause is usually a break in the natural connection between brain and motor nerves, generally caused by pressure of a clot of blood.
There is a third system of nerves, constituting the sympathetic system, which are connected with internal organs, enabling them to perform their functions properly.
Fat. - Fat is deposited in various parts of the body. Even thin people have some. It is really food and fuel for the body. In prolonged sickness and in case of starvation, the body consumes its own fat, which also supplies the body with heat in the process of being used up. With some persons, fat-production becomes a disease; the body seems unable to stop it, and they attain immense size.
