Muscular contraction follows immediately upon the effort, so that the settling down of the left side in walking, before so marked, is scarcely perceptible. The principle of distinguishing between the different qualities of force, and the peculiar kinds of functional manifestation to be employed in order to secure the desired quality, has been applied in many other cases with uniformly favorable results.
