Dr. Sextus culminating effortwas phenomenal. He created a physiological paradox. One of the subjectswas placed in a lethargic condition and his pulse and temperature wastaken. With his hand resting upon the young mans head, Sextus said:. BELIEVES HIMSELF A CRIPPLE. PUBLIC PRESS COMMENTS. 2S9 I wish your temperature to fall and your pulsations four minutes the pulse had increased in rapidity from 95 to 120beats to the minute.
