The Amazing Effects of Shock
0Continued from page H)
Metchnikoff has shown under the micro
scope how these chromophags devour the
pigment and leave the hair colorless. This
occurs very slowly under normal conditions
and it is inconceivable how this could be
done instantaneously or even within a few
hours. The explanation usually given by
skeptics is that the hair was dyed and the
dye was washed off and under the attending
excitement it was not renewed. One pe
culiar effect which follows the shock pro
duced by concussion of the spine is the
development of spinal disease weeks or
months after the injury. This happens
most frequently after railway collisions.
The immediate result of the collision may
have been insignificant, the person may
have been calm and collected, he may have
even helped those whose injuries required
immediate attention.
After a few hours mental symptoms begin
to show themselves in excitement, talkative
ness or tears. The next day, or perhaps in a
few days, he begins to feel all battered up
although there may not be a sign of a bruise.
After a week or two, or perhaps after a
much longer period, he begins to complain
of pains along the spine and this is the
beginning of a series of disorders which
I finally involve every organ of the body. In
some cases there is permanent paralysis of
the lower limbs or of one side of the body,
sometimes there is a general waste of tissue,
sometimes there is a change in tempera
ment and impairment of the mind, in some
j cases there is a rapid aging of the individual,
a middle-aged man becoming apparently an
old man in a few’ months. There is another
class of cases in which the shock was slight
and was followed by a rapid and appar
ently complete recovery.
After a few months, or perhaps after a
year or more, the health begins to decline
without any assignable cause, the person
becomes nervous, irritable and depressed.
He complains of vertigo, headaches, ringing
in the ears, numbness, the ideas are con
fused, the sleep is disturbed, he becomes
emotional and readily gives way to anger or
tears, the will-power is diminished and the
whole mentality is altered. At the same
time he complains of shooting pains in
various parts of the body, or there may be
a tenderness in the location of the original
injury, though the original injury may have
been nothing more than a bruise or only a
jar at some point along the spine. The
appetite fails, physical power diminishes,
and one group of muscles or the muscles on
one side of the body may weaken rapidly,
producing paralysis. More uncommon and
more remote in time are epilepsy and in
sanity.
It took years of observation and the
report of many cases to convince railroad
companies that a nervous break-down oc
curring a year or more after the accident
may be the delayed result of the shock—
and now the railroad companies are anxious
to settle suits before the delayed results
appear. In these cases the concussion of the
spinal cord leaves one or more tender spots
which were directly subjected to the jar,
these spots sooner or later break down and
implicate other parts of the cord and the
brain, and the whole organism suffers.
There may be other causes for spinal con
cussion. A fall on the buttocks or on the
feet may have the same effect as a railway
collision. So insignificant a shock as a
jump of a few inches, the person coming
down on the heels with the knees rigid may
produce these delayed results and it is
known to have happened to a girl who
jumped the rope that way. While the
delayed results of physical shock can be
readily explained it is difficult to explain
delayed mental shock. If there is a pro
gressive mental impairment from the time
of the shock we can say that the brain was
damaged and instead of improving there is
a progressive extension of the damage. In
many cases, however, there has been appar
ently complete recovery and the only ex
planation for the delayed results is, that the
impression has become crypted and for
gotten and it is brought to mind through
some associated idea. The peculiar mani
festations will then depend upon circum
stances which prevail at the moment or
upon habit as in the case of the man who
lost his wife in the Slocum disaster. Even
this does not explain all cases and many
must be classed among the psychic mys
teries.
