- THE CLITORIS, URETHRA, VAGINA AND HYMEN.
These female organs show further at the perfection which anatomical plate printing has attained.
Clitoris.—This small organ, it will be seen, is situated at the upper part of the Volvo, or outside parts of the female generative system, it is usually concealed by the lips of the pudenda. It performs a function during sexual intercourse similar to that performed by the penis of the male.
Urethra.–This highly useful organ, common to both sexes, is, as will be seen by the plate, now, or medium, by means of which the urine is carried from the bladder to be voided. It is a delicately lined organ, furnished with retentive valves, and therefore susceptible to a variety of diseases.
Vagina.–This word implies a chief, and is applied to the can out which leads from the uterus (womb) to the external organs of generation in the female sex. Commonly, it implies such external organs, or organ, as depicted in the plate.
Hymen.–The mucous membrane, or virginal membrane, at the entrance of the female sexual organ, or vagina.
In general the author skips through the section very rapidly in a no-nonsense business or away. There is no alliteration, and no religious references. That is not surprising as this was written just after the turn of the century when discussions of these particular topics are not carried out in public and rarely between men and women in public, let alone in a book designed to teach both men and women. Keep in mind, that this book came out 40 to 50 years before the Kinsey studies and books on sexual practices were done and written about. Medicine and Society at a long way to go from this point in time when this section was written.
- Interior Arrangement of Lungs
Interior Arrangement of Lungs. — On turning this flap over we find a vertical section of lungs, showing their anterior arrangements. The lower end of the trachea divides, one portion going to each long. These again subdividing continue to subdivide in geometrical order, growing smaller and smaller with each division, and extending to every part of the lungs, finally terminating in a cluster of air cells, bound together by cellular tissue and forming a lobule. These lobules vary in size accordingly as they are located on the surface of the lung or deeper in its tissues. Each lobule is separate and distinct from the other, and forms in itself a perfect and independent lung in miniature
Function Of the Lobules. — In this arrangement we see the boundless wisdom of the Creator displayed, for were it not for this wise and perfect; provision — one of the very greatest importance in the process of respiration, since it enables each individual lobule to perform its functions independently of the rest — tubercular disease, bronchitis and inflammation of the lungs would not only be incurable, but would prove to be very rapidly fatal.
______________
The last paragraph of this section is written with very peculiar grammar, some of it seems to be due to its age of a hundred years or more and the rest seems to be bad grammar that slip by the editor, this mixed in with the nonsecular reference makes what would probably be an important statement somewhat obscure.
