 experiments the day before lecture upon nerves

had found that the typical effects in such nerves 

 were considerably augmented. The lecture experi-

 like the experiments of the previous day, contrasts 

 very markedly with the other rehearsal experiments 

 made at this period on "unfed" nerves.
