HE various nerves of the human body have
origin in the brain, and the brain is the seat of sensation. When you wound your finger, the nerves which run from the finger to the brain convey intelligence of the injury, and if these nerves be severed, however serious the hurt may be, no pain is experienced. We have the strongest reason for believing that what the nerves convey to the brain is in all cases motion. It is the motion excited by sugar in the nerves of taste which, transmitted to the brain, produces the sensation of sweetness, while bitterness is the result of the motion produced by aloes. It is
