Now we move into the next section after we've covered the intro.  The pictures are available in Chart1.

Muscles of the Face and Neck -- this fine plate is a remarkably realistic and accurate representation of the head and neck, after the outer skin has been removed. It shows the bare skull, together with the admirable and skillful arrangement of the muscles of the face and neck; also the external part of the ear. There are, also, numerous blood -- vessels noticed meandering over the parts exposed to view, by means of which this muscular area receives its a plant nutrient blood. The large, broad muscle observed over the four head is the one by which we elevate the brow, and in conjunction with the more orbicular muscle in his scenes surrounding the eye,we can contract the brow, as in "scowling." Muscles of the Face -- The muscles of the face are those employed to give variety of expression to the countenance. It is through the medium of the small but useful muscles that public speakers can get facial emphasis to their flow of rhetorical eloquence; the tragedian employs them to get dramatic effect to the various characters he impersonates, and the low comedienne and "clown" cultivate them for facial contortions and "guying" characterization. The numerous muscles observed about the neck are those which give elasticity and mobility to the head. It is by means of these muscles that the head can rotate on its axis, then forward, backward, sideways, and pose in the diversified attitudes in various positions it can be made to assume.

Of this next section there are a couple goes full items that are of some interest. One of those as though use of the word tragedian, which surprised me for two reasons:

1. Because it was used at all, and too.
2. Because my voice recognition program picked it up on the first try. :)

in addition to links to examples are analogies such as clowns or comedians is somewhat archaic today. I don't think anyone today" hundred years later would use a similar analogy. However the turn of the century and a time when vaudeville was popular and moving pictures were still a couple decades away, I can see how this may have been a little bit more of a medical marvel.

Additional Articles from the Book of Medicine:

• Combines Lightness and Strength
  
  

  But notwithstanding this diversity in form, the general plan constantly kept in view by the Divine Architect has been the central idea of combining lightness with the greatest possible degree of strength.  The bones of the arms and legs are round were triangular, and hollow, thus giving with the same weight a greater degree of strength that have solid, besides affording a larger surface for the attachment of muscles.

  This quick little section doesn’t make a lot of sense when you read the first sentence, you have to remember that they’re talking about bones.  The paragraph structure essentially of this section is what is slightly misleading.  My grammar school English teacher would criticize a writer for not providing a topic sentence at the beginning of the paragraph.

  Regardless they have hit on a novel last backed up the design of the human body, the design of bones.  There many fascinating aspects about the human body and the strength and weight of bones is definitely a topic that has been worthy of consideration and study for many years.  In some ways we have only recently begun to understand just how important the design of bones are in carrying mass and dealing with impact.  So in this case the writers actually touching on a very interesting topic even though they are doing that and a manner that is a hundred years out of date and slightly out of focus.

• Who Were the People that wrote the Book of Medicine?
  
  

  I haven’t had a lot of time to look into the authors of the book of medicine. One of the side projects I’d like to tackle with this book is identifying, who these people were that authored and edited the book, identify where they lived and worked and where they came from. Fortunately utilizing the powers of sites such as ancestry.com I can actually trace and get access to public records such as census records that might indicate who they were where they lived and what their lives were like. If they were recent immigrants to the United States or if they lived in the United Kingdom or whether they were from Germany or Ireland, etc.

  I’d like to also determine where they went to school to learn medicine, I will admit that I have no idea how to go about the second part but I’m hoping that the first inquiry provides more background information that might lead to information on the second part.

  Who knows it could even be possible that I will be able to find some people that knew them, maybe some relatives that will be able provides a personal perspective on the authors of this book. Who knows I might even come across these people running a Pigeon Forge vacation rentals company, or teaching at a university today or maybe they’re even somebody I know I just haven’t made the connection.

• The Intestines
  
  

  The Intestines.  — the next chart shows us the manner in which the intestines are arranged in the abdominal cavity.  The entire intestinal can now is about 30 feet in length, and is divided into two portions — the small intestines, and the large intestines; these again are each subdivided into three different portions.  Of the large intestines, the transfers portion is laid open, showing the internal arrangements.  A section of the bladder is even on this chart.

  _______

  I really don’t have any clue what they’re talking about when they refer to the three portions subdividing both the large and small intestines.  Is nothing in the chart that mentions this subdivision and I’ve never heard of anything like that before in regards to the intestines.  This could be my lame and ignorance or it could be some odd notion espoused in this book.  They also mention that the link to the intestines is approximately 30 feet.  I seem to recall from my grade school education 25 years ago, that the length was 26 feet for the small intestine and six to 7 feet for the large intestine or was that 3 feet for the large intestine?

  My fourth-grade education combined with my loss of memory over 25 years may be getting the best of me.  Maybe I spent too much time at the drive-in watching movies freezing my toes off as I laid on top of the roof of our van, clinging to a van rack.  I’m sure that would seem extremely strange to the writers of this book and possibly even to my readers is not been to a drive-in before during the fall.
