62 PASSIVE MOVEMENTS
The nasal nerve is found to emerge on the side of the nose at
the nasal bone with the cartilage.
Vibrations over these two nerves are very beneficial in catarrh
of the nose, cold in the head, and its accompaniment, frontal
headache.
A sensory twig, probably from the lachrymal nerve, turns round
the edge of the orbit at its outer side, just opposite the outer
canthus. Light frictions or vibrations there cause, even in sound
persons, considerable irritation, while on those who have any
affection of the eye the pain is very pronounced.
Nervus Maxillaris Superior and Nervus Mentalis.
If we pass down in a straight line from the supraorbital notch,
we have no difficulty in finding these nerves, where they come
out of their respective foramina, I have cured neuralgic tooth-
ache at once ; and even in cases where the tooth has been diseased,
the pain often subsided when vibrations were apphed over the
nerves for a few minutes. I have also by the same treatment
stopped the aching in the teeth and jaws following on strong
mercurial inunction.
Nervus Facialis.
Frictions can most easily be applied to the facial nerve where
it comes forward over the ascending ramus of the inferior
maxillary bone. They are made from above downwards
(fig. 39).
The first effect, on friction being applied, is a peculiar sparkling
sensation, not only over the side of the face, but also in the
pharynx, and very frequently, too, in the ear.
This nerve, of course, should be stimulated in cases of facial
paralysis.
While working under my brother, I had occasion to see two
cases of complete recovery. One of the patients was a little boy,
five years old, the other a girl of fourteen.
