PART I. 



ORGANS AND FUNCTIONS OF ANIMAL LIFE. 



Four systems of organs concerned, 26. How they co-operate, or- 

 der of treatment justified, 27. 



CHAPTER I. 



NERVOUS SYSTEM. 



Two subsystems (cerebro-spinal and ganglionic), cerebro-spinal sys- 

 tem of vertebrates, general plan of and subdivisions, 29. 



SECTION I. 



Brain of Man. 



Skull, membranes, 30. Main parts of brain : (1) cerebrum, 31 ; 

 (2) cerebellum, (3) medulla and pons, (4) optic lobes, 32 ; (5) thalamus 

 and corpus, 33. Convolutions of cerebrum, of cerebellum, 34. Interior 

 structure, microscopic structure, 35. Embryonic development of brain, 

 37. Fore brain, mid brain, and hind brain, 39. Distinctive functions 

 of cerebrum 39 ; of cerebellum, of medulla, 40 ; optic lobes, thalamus 

 and corpus, 41. Localization of cerebral functions, 43. Dextrality, 45. 



SECTION II. 



Spinal Cord of Man. 



Envelopes, description of the cord, spinal nerves, 46. Section of 

 the cord, 47. General function as conductor and as center, 48. 



SECTION III. 

 Nerves. 



Cranial nerves, 49. (1) Olfactory, (2) optic, 50 ; (3, 4, and 6) 

 oculi motores, 52 ; (5) trigeminal, (7) facial, (8) auditory, (9) gustatory, 

 (10) vagus, 53 ; (ill spinal recurrent, (12) hypoglossal, general observa- 

 tions on cranial nerves, 54. 



Spinal nerves. Origin and distribution, 54. Structure of nerves, 

 function, 56. Mode of action illustrated, two subsystems, 57. Course 

 and termination of fibers, 58. General mode of action of whole, 59. 

 Course in reflex action, 60. Illustrated by telegraphy, 61. Applica- 

 tion to several cases, 62. Law of peripheral reference, 64. Nerve 

 force vs. electricity, 64. Function of spinal or reflex system, 66. 



SECTION IV. 

 Ganglionic System.

 ganglionic system, 69.
