Experiment has proved this also so far as it has gone; hence the great danger of laying down laws for the spinal cord from the investigation of one animal or even one group. Recent investigations have shown that, in persons crippled from birth, or for long periods, reflexes which had never been properly established may, as the result of opera- tive procedure, become possible through training. It has also been shown, both by experiment Mid clinical experience of the kind referred to, that when certain reflexes are imperfectly de- veloped others are also defective, again impressing the im- portance of that balance of development which is essential to health or the normal condition of an animal. This subject is very wide, of great practical importance, and deserves consider- ation beyond what our limits of space will allow. All the facts go to show that the cord is made up of nervous mechanismsâif we may so speakâwhich are naturally associ- ated, both structurally and functionally, wit
