can_v be_v easy_o perform_v within_o the_o trunk_n of_o the_o nerve_n from_o the_o begin_n towards_o the_o end_n therefore_o while_o the_o spirit_n about_o the_o nervous_a origine_fw-la be_v first_o

we_o may_v judicious_o think_v that_o the_o congelation_n be_v cause_v by_o the_o paroxysm_n itself_o because_o in_o convulsive_a motion_n and_o immoderate_a contraction_n of_o the_o nerve_n and_o
