Already the doctrine of reflexes had been universally established, and now the condition of the vessels as regulated by a system of dilator and constrictor organic muscular fibers, which are influenced by sensory impressions at distant points, has become a wellrecognized fact of physiology. These data given, the principles of counter-irritation are no longer obscure, and no dogma is needed to give them concrete expression.
