from the shades of bright red to dark red (sic), to
white, and develope, as its temperature rises, heat and light, — so the living sensitive
cells, in presence of the incitations that solicit them, exalt themselves progressively as to their most interior sensibility, enter into a phase of erethism, and at a certain number of vibrations, set free (dégagent) pain as a physiological expression of this same sensibility superheated to a red -
white.»
