How these fibres, again, wreathe themselves together in the body, appears from the various collections of them called plexuses,—such as the cardiac plexus, the mesenteric plexus, aud others; also from the knots of them which are called ganglions, into which many fibres from every province enter, and therein mingle together, and again go forth in new combinations to the performance of their functions,—and this repeated again and again; besides similar things in every viscus, member, organ and muscle.

Whoever examines these fibres with the eye of wisdom, and the many wonderful things pertaining to them, will be utterly astonished. And yet the things which the eye sees are few. Those which it does not see are yet
