This will permit of individual examination. Sketches of the sciatic nerve, brachial plexus, and of sections through the brain and spinal cord should be made. *Location of Nerves in the Body.*—Several of the nerves of the body lie sufficiently near the surface to be located by pressure and are easily recognized as sensitive cords. These are all large nerves.
Trotting is impossible and flexion of the affected member is also likewise precluded. The foot is dragged when the subject is caused to advance. Under the heading "sciatica," Scott has described a case of acute sciatic affection wherein a pacing horse manifested evidence of great pain of a nervous character.
Does sciatic rheumatism always present just the same picture, or set of symptoms, that you should be able to so rapidly and correctly tell his purely subjective sensations?" "Not by any means, Professor. A scientific prescription, like a stool, must have at least three legs to stand upon.
A great beam of it lay across the foot of his camp cot, bringing comforting warmth to the toes which protruded from the shelter of abbreviated blankets. The professor wiggled his toes cautiously. He was accustomed to doing this before making more radical movements. They were a valuable index to the state of the sciatic nerve.
I used to think of a wound received in one's country's service as the proudest trophy a man could acquire.

His eyes became so severely affected by a contagious ophthalmia then prevailing in the neighbourhood that he had to give up using them for several weeks, sciatic rheumatism confined him to bed, and his right arm was bound to his side to prevent hemorrhage.
All this takes only a fraction of a second, but it is not until the message reaches the brain-surface that you feel pain. If you were to cut the sciatic nerve, or even tie a string tightly around it, you could prick or burn the sole of your foot as much as you pleased, and you would not feel any pain at all.
