The Collar Bone

The Collar Bone.  — The collar bone is fast and that one into the breast bone in the first drip, and at the other into a shoulder blade.  It does holes the shoulder-joint out from the chest, eight in protecting the important vessels of the axilla, and gives the arm a greater range of freedom, mobility and play.

In this section I first noted that the word collar bone is used as two separate words as opposed to the compound word in use today, collarbone .  You might also notice that the author regularly uses an excessive number of dashes in the text.  Unfortunately on occasion I lose her drop some of these when my spell checker and dictation service gets confused by the excessive number of dashes.
