When theansesthesia is at its height the patient has difficulty in locating a touchupon the hands and feet, even though he feels it. The distribution ofthe ansesthesia when it is fully developed corresponds to the parts ofthe extremities covered by gloves and stockings, and hence has beennamed the glove-shaped and stocking-shaped area of anaesthesia.() This distribution of anaesthesia, contrasting sharply, as it Fig. 101.
