現代語訳
を以て独りその神経に触れれば、その肉繊維忽ち感動して牽縮す《割書：この時その神経既に脳髄を離れて精神通せずと雖も尚この感動あり》。然るにその触れることが久しくして歇まなければ、神経遂に罷弊してその肉繊維の牽縮自ら弛縦す。この時直ちにその肉に触れれば亦牽縮の力あり。
然れば覚機は動機と自ら別有して精神とも同じからざる一個の神経固有力なることが昭昭たり。
各異感応機《割書：ベイソンデレプリッケルファットバールハイト》
凡そ人身は凡百機器の合集に成る。而してその衆器の製造は千種万類なり。故に全躯同一の生力を稟舎するとも、毎器毎蔵覚動各々差い、感受抗抵互に乖く。之を各異感応機と謂う。亦これに二般あり。
一は諸部において毫も感応せざる物を独り那の一部において感応するなり。光響は眼耳のみ感応して鼻舌之を知らず、臭味は鼻舌のみ感応するとも眼耳之を弁ぜざるが如し。
一は同一の刺衝と雖も、その部の差等に随って各々その感応を異にするなり。吐酒石は胃を刺衝して吐を起すとも皮膚に貼すれば疹疱を発し、山萮菜白芥子は口舌皮膚に劇く焮熱を起すとも胃に下っては刺衝を覚えず、炭酸瓦斯は胃に功有って肺に害をなし、水銀は唾腺を刺衝して吐涎を起し、芫菁は腎を刺衝して尿を利するが如
英語訳
method, when one touches only the nerve, the muscle fibers immediately respond and contract. 《Note: At this time, even though the nerve has already been separated from the brain and spinal cord and the spirit does not communicate, this response still occurs》. However, if the touching continues for a long time without ceasing, the nerve eventually becomes exhausted and the contraction of the muscle fibers naturally becomes relaxed. At this time, if one directly touches the muscle, there is still contractile force.
Therefore, it is clear that the sensibility mechanism exists separately from the irritability mechanism and is a unique neural force distinct from the mind itself.
Specific Responsiveness (Besondere Empfänglichkeit)
Generally, the human body consists of a collection of numerous organs and mechanisms. The construction of these various organs is of countless varieties. Therefore, although the entire body receives the same vital force, each organ and each viscus differs in sensibility and irritability, with their receptivity and resistance diverging from one another. This is called specific responsiveness. There are also two types of this:
First, substances that show no response whatsoever in various parts of the body respond only in one particular part. Light and sound are perceived only by the eyes and ears, while the nose and tongue do not recognize them; odors and tastes are perceived only by the nose and tongue, but the eyes and ears cannot distinguish them.
Second, even with the same stimulus, each part responds differently according to the differences in the parts. Tartar emetic stimulates the stomach causing vomiting, but when applied to the skin it causes rashes and pustules; horseradish and white mustard seed cause intense burning sensations on the tongue and skin, but when swallowed into the stomach no irritation is felt; carbonic acid gas benefits the stomach but harms the lungs; mercury stimulates the salivary glands causing salivation; and cantharis stimulates the kidneys promoting urination, and so forth.
