To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Even the unconsciousness of the hypnotic state seems to find its interpretation in the lack of radia- tion occasioned by perfect, or nearly perfect positive at- tention. Sometimes, however, unconsciousness is occasioned by intense feeling. A person is said to faint from excess of emotion. Here it seems as if the nervous arc is interrupted in its continuity, and the current is broken. When the current is no longer passing, then none of it can radiate out into the fringing cells, and unconsciousn...ess results. Intense feeling, extraordinary resistance, great negative attention, interruption of all current-— all of these seem to be associated with each other. The action of negative attention in producing unconsciousness is similar to that of chloroform, which as we have previously stated, is best accounted for by supposing that the action of chloroform produces a retraction of the dendrites until they are be- yond the point of physiological communication, the circuit is broken, the nervous impulse fails to pass, there can be no radiation, and unconsciousness follows.
