Physiologists are notagreed respecting the com-plete regeneration of ner-vous tissue after it has beenonce destroyed. Of its partial restoration there can be no doubt. The nerve-fibres, which originate in the brain, and are distributedto the muscles, have no proper termination, but form loops, whicheither return into themselves or join others formed by the ultimateramifications of the main trunks. The vesicular matter, wherever found, is regarded as a generator ofnervous influence ; and the white or tubular as the carrier of that in-fluence to the various parts of the system. The former portion issupplied with much the largest proportion of blood. The general nervous system is susceptible of a division into fivesubordinate systems: 1. The nutritive system, or nerves of organiflife. 2. The motory system, or nerves of voluntary motion. 3. Thesentient system, or nerves of 4. Tka mental system, orbrain. 5.

In the order of development it pre-cedes the others, as it relates to, and, in fact, presides over, ail theprocesses of organic or vegetative life. All the functions belonging tothe growth, development, and transformation of the bodily structuresare controlled by these nerves. They nave no sensibility of which thebrain takes cognizance; yet they have an impressibility or a feeling oftheir own. To illustrate: the brain does not feel food in the stomach,nor blood in the heart, nor air in the lungs, nor bile in the liver, yettheir presence is recognized or felt by the organic nerves. Thesenerves, too, have their little brains, or special centres, which serve tosupply the nerfo-electric influence to particular parts and organs, andconnect the whole together in close sy
