<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> The term "nervous system" is so anachronistic to Middle Earth. <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Who says that it was not a concept familiar to Elven healers and made known by them to a wider section of Middle-earth? <P>Of course, Tolkien would never use anachronistic expressions in his books, would he? Like “express train”, for example (or tobacco or potatoes too, for that matter).
