A Description of the Colored Anatomical Charts Composing the Manikin Accompanying this Work.We now proceed with what the book refers to his chart 1, however this would normally reference a chapter 1 I believe today. A PICTURE OF GOOD HEALTH
This exquisitely beautiful and artistic anatomical late presents the head and face of a young man in the enjoyment of perfect health. Apart from the subject it's so accurately and faithfully represents, it is in itself a viable life-like portraiture of the human head and face, and shows to what perfection the art of anatomical plate printing has attained. Note the prominent perceptive faculties, the high four head, features characteristic of a large brain and a massive and unimpaired intellect. Mark the open expression of the eye! How true to nature and life -- like. Observe the compressed lips, denoting firmness of character and determination of purpose. Look at tentatively at the bright, open, manly countenance; there are no signs of mental decrepitude, physical bodily infirmities, nervous fear, or exhaustion of brainpower or life -- force in the expression of the noble, ruddy and healthy face. It is, as its name implies, typical of Perfect Health!Now you might ask, "What in the world is as book referring to at this point?" The answer is what I can only refer to as a pop out picture on page 37.

- Effect of Metallic Impurities
Effect of Metallic Impurities.– the effects of minute traces of metallic substances in drinking water have not yet been ascertained with sufficient accuracy, but it is quite possible that the entire sanitary condition of the district may depend in some measure on impurities of this description. Mr. Wanklyn suggests that the well-known salutary effect of what is called change of air may be, in reality, partly due to the escape from some extremely small metallic impurities in the water of the section of country from which removal takes place.
Well today, people know that heavy metals and water can be extremely poisonous or problematic for people to consume water with these impurities in place. It is somewhat remarkable that this had not been figured out as few as 100 years ago, and that what is relatively common knowledge today was only hypothetical esoteric pseudoscience 100 years back. It’s no wonder that so many developed countries today have so many heavy metal messes to clean up around the world. Today people are looking for the best fat burners that they can buy so they can load up on McDonald’s french fries and eat all that they want, we’ll just a few years back they are looking for safe water to drink, and not even knowing what safe was.
- River-Water
River-Water. — River-water is, to a certain extent, similar to Spring-water, but is much more apt to be contaminated with sand and clay, organic material from decomposing vegetable or animal remains, the refuse of manufacturers, and especially with the sewage of cities and towns, which it is probable events amounts of sickness and death are annually due in all civilized countries. Unfortunately, River-water is that which is chiefly supplied to towns and cities, and therefore find its way into the systems of vast numbers of our fellow-beings.
In past sections, I have marveled at the excessive use of punctuation, but I’ve never seen the excessive use of “hyphens”. This particular section on water is absolutely rife with the excessive use of hyphens, and it is wreaking havoc on my attempt at editing. It’s almost like the author falls in love with a certain type of punctuation has a brief affair with it for a chapter or two before turning to a new punctuation. This particular affair is driving me nuts, and I can’t wait for it to be over. If it doesn’t end soon I will probably single-handedly increase NC health insurance rates by myself.
- The Fibula and Sciatic Nerve
the fibula. — not only does this second bone-the fibula-get additional string in support to the lake proper, but it likewise increases the bony area or surface of the lake, to which its powerful muscular lovers are attached.
The Sciatic Nerve.- the large sciatic nerve, its position, course and distribution, is graphically outlined, and as we look upon this point, since the court, we are deeply impressed with the force and truth of what Shakespeare makes one of his characters, to moan say:
“________the cold sciatica
Cripples our senators, but their limbs may halt
as plainly as their manners.”
Now I do understand that this is not terribly exciting reading at this point in time. Enough to let a person get some sleep at a hotel trying to offer up time share real estate Branson options, I’m sure.
