It is an admitted doctrine that the vital properties of motor and sensitive nerves disappear much sooner than those of muscles, after death, or when they are deprived of blood. Although founded on positive facts, this theory is not correct, these facts being capable of another interpretation. In the experiments made heretofore, other organs (such as the spinal cord and muscles) had been deprived of blood, at the same time with the sensitive and motor nerves.
