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.

• Shape of Skull
  
  

  Bones Seen in the Plate — the bones of the skull observed in this beautiful plate are: the frontal, which forms the four head or front part of the skull; the parietal, constituting a portion of the side and top of the head; the occipital, forming the lower and back part of the skull, and the temporal, which forms the lowest part of the site any part of the base of the cranium. These several bones are joined together by notched seems, after the manner carpenters call “dove-tailing.”
  
  Shape of the Skull — the skull, as will be seen, is oval, which adapts it to the conformation of the brain, besides giving a greater resistance to pressure. The stronger and smaller and is in front, where danger is greatest to the brain, whilst the projections before and behind shield its less protected parks. The peculiar conformation and shape of the skull forms a strong shelter for the brain — an organ so delicate that if not so strongly guarded from injury, and ordinary blow falling upon it would destroy it forever.

  I find the description of the seems of the skull rather interesting. I am no doctor nor am I a carpenter, however the analogy of dovetailing strikes me as rather interesting. Upon looking at the picture in short one of the skull, I can distinguish get the impression that dovetailing might be an apt description. That does make me wonder how bones could be grown in a way that emulates dovetailing, however I suspect that it’s probably easier to grown organic substance in that manner than it is to join two pieces of wood by force into notched pieces and make them stick or hold in place. Maybe with the advances of nanotechnology and other areas of convergence and biotech we might actually see a day where actual dovetailing is performed with nanotechnology that grows itself into place.

  Can you imagine installing a tile floor or even a wood floor where instead of using grout or glue or a nail gun you activate a nano tech compound that remembers how to join itself and seal the seems of tile or would together?

  Don’t get me wrong I recognize that this would use a highly advanced technology to perform something that might actually emulate an old fashion way to cover a floor with tile or wood. It’s probably more likely by the time that we have got firmer grasp on nanotechnology that we may not have the Woods agreed a floor with and we may not have the desire to use tiles of floor covering opting instead for some more ergonomic substance that’s better for our feet and knees. I’m sure in a hundred years my comments will sound quaint and silly just like certain aspects of his books on plain silly to me today.

• From Mothers Home Nursing Families to Nurses Traveling Across the US
  
  

  I was doing some research on nursing last night and I came across an interesting trend.  Nurses today in the present-day are finding in taking temporary positions that enable them to travel across the United States to work as a nurse in multiple locations, or should say in different locations.  So for example if you are a nurse and you wanted to spend the winter in Miami, you could accept a position as a travel nurse and work in Miami for two or three months during the middle of winter.  These positions seem to be available all around the United States, and they offer outstanding pay rates and even benefits that are normally associated with full-time work such as a 401(k) plan.

  This concept of travel nursing seems to have evolved and changed over the years quite a bit.  As we continue to dig within the book of medicine, we are repeatedly reminded that the book was written 90 years ago for an audience primarily consisting of mothers caring for their families and nurses in remote locations where other medical care was unavailable.  A single doctor might cover a single town or even a county or territory back then.  A traveling nurse back then might have to go by horseback to take care of an ailing patient, or they might work in a hospice or alms house typically for very low pay if they were paid anything at all.  Room and board were actually the standard pay of the time.

  Fast-forward 90 years and the situation has changed dramatically.  Nursing is very high in demand to the extent that people will actually pay a nurse to travel across the country and work for a few months at a time.  Part of this is probably driven by the shortage of nurses and a number of different areas and part of it probably relates to the fact that elderly and ailing patients are much more mobile these days.  It has been very common for a couple decades now for people to travel south for the winter to Florida or Phoenix or even Southern California.  This influx of people that need medical attention seems to be matched by nurses that are willing to go to those locations and work.  Furthermore, were not necessarily talking about a live-in nurse that works 24 hours a day taking care of an elderly patient, were talking about a nurse that works a shift sometimes in a home sometimes a hospital or other medical facility.  That leaves pony of time for a real life after hours and many opportunities to explore the location that they’re visiting.
