When people love spraying themselves with scents, then this is sensual love.
When an elderly maid loves dogs, cats, and animals in general, then this is an animalistic love.
Husband is the word for a man who, out of pity and by police injunction, helps fathers feed and clothe their daughters.
A rutting life is postmen and coachmen trotting in autumn down broken, rutted roads.
A NEW
ILLNESS
AND AN
OLD CURE
Operations on the body produce symptoms analogous to bouts of fitful fever (febris intermutens). Before making the incision, spasms of the peripheral vessels induce pallor. Pupils dilate. Our general deduction is that the sight of the approaching specialists agitates the vascular motor center and the nervus oculomotorius. A chill ensues. During the incision, we note a rise in body temperature and hyperestesia of the skin. After the incision has been performed there is a fever. Sweat breaks out.
On the basis of this analogy, I propose that all medical students dissecting a cadaver take a dose of quinine before coming to school.
