CHAP. XXVI. What may be the cause of the convulsive twitching of broken Members.
THis contraction, and (as it were) convulsive twitching, usually happens to fractured members in the time of sleep. I think the cause thereof is, for that the native heat withdraws its self while we sleep, into the center of the body; whereby it cometh to pass, that the extream parts grow cold. In the mean while, nature, by its accustomed providence, sends spirits to the supply of the hurt part: But because they are not received of the part evill affected and unapt thereto, they betake themselves together, and suddenly, according to their wonted celerity, thither from whence they came, the muscles follow their motion; with the muscles, the bones whereinto they are inserted, are together drawn; whereby it comes to pass, that they are again displaced, and with great torment of pain, fall from their former seat. This contraction of the muscles is towards their original.
