We can thus understand how either emotional strainor acute or chronic infection may cause either exophthalmicgoiter or cardiovascular disease; how chronic intestinalstasis with the resultant absorption of toxins may causecardiovascular disease, neurasthenia, or goiter. Here isfound an explanation of the phenomena of shock, whetherthe shock be the result of toxins, of infection, of foreignproteins, of anaphylaxis, of psychic stimuli, or of a surgicaloperation with its combination of both psychic and trau-matic y. ;- f- ^ 1 ^ r,: ,^^ ^ T3 K ;~, rH « X Q, S--- H >^ o:;^ ?^ y. - 1:; Ph H S2 tu ;?
