MUSCULAR FORCE FOR THE LYMPH. 257 Finally, that the lymph-vessels and chambers are muscu-lar organs provided with valves for obviating reflux, andfurnished with nerves from the adjacent ganglionic layers(Meissners and Auerbachs, which we will come to presently)for producing the rhythmical expansions and contractionswhich occur in them, and which also connect with the greatpumping movement in the muscular cylinder itself, the nerves.

Bur once within this system of reservoirs, it is easy toperceive that the force in the gut is available for compellingthe lymph through the channels, and no power can preventit but paralysis in the gut itself, as must appear obvious. Inother words, every contraction of the m
