Together they have proved that the sympathetic system carries sensations of pain, that the terrific pain of angina pectoris is sympathetic. Dr. Coffey stops the pain by cutting sympathetic nerves in the neck. The Coffey-Humber sympathetic studies led them to their cancer work...

At first he signed about 60 a day, but weakness and almost intolerable pain, which even drugs failed to still, slowed up his later efforts.** There were more than 100 diplomas unsigned when he could write no more...
