Its symptoms, though sometimes concealed, are usually visible, these being weakness of pulse, difficult respiration, coldness in extremities, and clammy perspiration. Arteries and veins run side by side to every part of the body, even in the tissue of the blood-vessels themselves. The artery leads into the vein, which then broadens out to a greater size than the artery, thus allowing the blood to return more slowly through them to the heart. The principle arteries are two running up the neck and branching over the face and brain; two conveying blood...
