Fig. 2: Illustrates such an experiment. Directly after syringing the left meatus 
with cold water a deviation and a nystagmus is evoked, which soon attains a 
constant intensity. 
It will be observed that during the etherization (at first ether 4 to 10, then 
rising slowly as high as 8 to 10), the muscle contracts more and more and the 
rapid beats of the nystagmus become smaller, until ultimately the latter disappear 
entirely and the isolated contracted muscle does not display any more relaxations. 
After the syringing «is stopped the contraction decreases and gradually the slow 
phase of the nystagmus disappears.
