Practical hydropathy, including plans of baths and remarks on diet, clothing and habits of . culiar destination andspecial function, and since this destination and function is in relation with thebrain, it must be apparent that the various ramifications, in successively uniting 4\Q HANDBOOK OF HYDROPATHY. together, as they approach their origin, can never be deprived of their properfunctions, nor lose their individuality. It must not, consequently, be supposedthat there is any analogy between the cases of blood-vessels running into eachother, where the confluent streams are mixed, to form a single current after theirunion, and those of nerves coalescing, so that two or more fibres form a singlecord. It must be considered, on the contrary, that in such coalition there is noactual mixture of nervous substance, and that the fibres are merely ranged sideby side in mechanical juxtaposition, without any more intimate union. These conclusions, which are derived from analogies of irresistible force, basedupon the physiological properties of the nerves, are fully corroborated and con-.

The nerves of the orbit, with the ophthalmic and otic ganglia, are here shown. 1, the section of the frontal bone, showing the cavity of the frontal sinus; 2, nasal bone of the left side; 19, the internal• carotid artery, n. the opticnerve {to the eye); in. the third nerve, o, the superior branch of the thirdnerve; b, its inferior branch; c, the branch to the ophthalmic ganglion; d, theophthalmic or lenticular ganglion; e, the upper fasciculus of ciliary nerves;/, the lower fasciculus, iv. the fourth nerve; vi. the sixth nerve, t, thetrunk of the inferior maxillary nerve; k, its motor root; I, the otic ganglion;m, the internal pterygoid nerve, piercing the otic ganglion; n, filaments ofcommunication witr the auricular Qiiain and Wilson.
