Muscles of the Trunk of the Human Body. Muscular Arrangement and Blood Supply.  -- In this exquisite and magnificent colored engraving we had a grand view of the wonderful arrangement of the muscles of the trunk of the human body, together with the muscular arrangement of the arms and likewise their blood supply.  The trunk of the body is divided into two compartments -- the thorax and the abdomen.

I believe this opening segment is referring to the first image and charred two.  (see chart 2 first picture  ) Now I am not a doctor nor I are very good artist, but as I look at this drawing or engraving as it's referred to it seemed a little basic to me.  Sure I'm used to souped-up graphics and a number of other things that it developed in the last 90 years.  That difference I suppose is one of the remarkable things about the book.  I often point out the difference and grammar and punctuation and perspective to need a little bit and knowledge. This is another example of cultural differences spanning 90 years of time.  90 years ago this might have been a very accurate and high-tech picture, well today and 2007 it looks extremely basic almost like something that a grade school student might color with a crayon. It may be a little trite but like to point out also a diagram of the belly button, which strikes me as rather ludicrous looking even though it's not all that bad.  Maybe it's the two-dimensional rendering of the belly button that strikes me, or maybe it's the juxtaposition of a section of skin on top of a section of the torso that has no skin.  I'm not really sure but it seems little funny to me.

• Diet Profiles with MyFitnessPal
  
  

  As I go through the book of medicine, I’ve been thinking more and more about my health. I am not terribly unhealthy nor am I very overweight, however my diet is definitely not terrific.

  I thought I would get some sort of baseline assessment of what my dietary goals should be as it relates to my weight. I weigh about 173 pounds and I’m 6 foot one. I’ve recently put on about 10 pounds and I’d like to get down to an ideal weight of about 160, a very tone 160.

  I’m not trying to be a bodybuilder, but I don’t desire any excess fat either. I do work in front of a computer for many hours at a time and that lends itself to putting on a little weight around my belly. I do go jogging about four times a week for a couple miles.

  I went over to MyFitnessPal.com so I could establish a dietary profile. It only took about 60 seconds to complete this profile and get a very baseline assessment of what I might need to do.

  

  I wouldn’t have to make too many adjustments, but I would need to decrease my calories just a bit. This site all so offers a calorie counter, which I would need as I’m not very good at documenting these types of things on paper nor even understanding what it is I’m documenting.

  My wife is a lifetime member of Weight Watchers, but that just doesn’t work for me.

  The next step of courses to keep a diet journal or a food diary depending on how you want to look at it. That would definitely not be a problem for me as I journal just about everything that I do.

  I haven’t been terribly concerned about calories since I was in the military. Back then we had to worry about ensuring that we consume enough calories each day when we were in the field.That was about consuming lots of calories as opposed to today where I’m looking to consume the right amount of calories for a more sedentary lifestyle, and if I can eat healthier along the way, then even better.

• Avoiding Cholera
  
  

  Avoiding Cholera. — a first and highly important warning, therefore, which these and many other similar occurrences give us is never to drink any water which, by any possibility, could have become contaminated with the smallest particle discharge from the bowels of a person suffering from cholera or choleraic diarrhea.

  This ending on Cholera, is slightly confusing at first as the 100 year old grammar is slightly odd.  However, the general lesson seems to be coming across.  Its a lesson talking about germs essentially, Cholera specifically.  But the author is painting a picture for the lay person that small particles can contaminate water and make everyone sick.
