Abstract Chapter VIII. Sensory Lesions .... Usually the pains from nerve hurts are either aching, shooting, or burning, or perhaps all three at once.

Perhaps few persons who are not physicians can realize the influence which long-continued and unendurable pain may have upon both body and mind. The older books are full of cases in which, after lancet wounds, the most terrible pain and local spasms resulted.
