Note 56 — Chapter II · OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE DEATH OF THE HEART, OVER THAT OF THE BRAIN.
F. Gold translation
It is not true that a ligature on a nerve produces its effects only on the part to which this nerve is distributed; the brain is also affected; for, without this, how can be explained the pain that is felt, and the excitement, which is often sufficiently powerful to produce convulsions, and sometimes even death.
