Coagulation of the Blood. --according to Dr. Draper, of New York, 20,000,000 die at a single breath! Blood when exposed to the air coagulates, and the value of this peculiar yet intrinsic property cannot be overestimated. Win and archery is ruptured bleeding takes place, the blood coagulates and forms a plug, thus preventing further hemorrhage.thus we observe with what divine foresight and wisdom, not only the wants of the body are provided for, but also the incidents to which it is liable.

At the beginning of this topic I started to assume that the author was referring to the death of blood cells in the number of 20 million as opposed to people or something else. Even the book with a section heading it sounds a little sensational. The description of coagulation wasn't too bad and it made sense and then the author seemed to lose his scientific perspective again and started talking about the divine and basically spouting some relative nonsense which again makes me do believe that the author had reached the extent of his knowledge. I think he was just basically filling in the text with more words. If I didn't know better I would suspect the author was being paid by the word and basically was just paid three times over what that information was worth. Actually, come to think of it, I do not know better. I have done some external research to attempt to identify the bonafides of the author and the editors, but have so far come up short in that department. I couldn't verify their credentials as medical professionals any more than I could say that they were masons that specialized in the construction of outdoor fireplace settings.

• How is Malaria carried by the Mosquito
  
  

  How is malaria carried by the mosquito?-best imagined that a man has returned from some malarial country takes up his abode in a healthy, yet mosquito infested village.  This man may be fairly over his attack yet he still suffers from an occasional chill with fever.  He has no screens in his house, nor have his neighbors, unless previously told to follow such cautions.  A female as Cato are several attack in and stuck his blood which contains these tiny parasites.  The mosquito takes millions of the little parasites which then undergo a development in the body of the insect and can be seen microscopically in the stomach and intestine, and the small glands in its mouth, which secrete saliva.  Now let us follow the mosquito and see what harm it can cause any community.  It flies through a screen door or window and lights on the arm, etc., of an unsuspecting neighbor.  Inviting a person the mosquito ejects or gives off its saliva into the womb to eight in diluting the blood of a person which it has been, as the blood is too thick to be sucked up to the tiny tube in the bill (proboscis) of the mosquito.  In this way the bite of the female mosquito whose body contains a small animal error sites which cause malaria, as by means of the saliva into the blood of the person during the act of sucking up the blood.  Does the mosquito sucks up the blood of the individual and in exchange injects into his blood the saliva contains parasites.  These parasites multiply in the blood of the person bitten and produce poisons which give rise to the chills, fever, aching limbs, etc., known as malaria, malarial fever or “odd,” (chills and fever).  It can readily be seen how malaria will spread when individuals in the community have millions of parasites in the blood, and at the same time as Cato’s are carrying around in their bodies, millions of the same living germs which they sought from the blood of the infected person, develop and inject them into the blood of every person they bite.

  You will notice as you read the follow on sections covering Mosquitos and Malaria that the book is big on talking about where they live, but not terribly practical on how to actually deal with the insects.  There are more references to different possible breeding places than there are gears in a Patek Gondolo watch.

  Use of the Leg Muscles. – Is and the muscles observed in this plate are the principal instruments for carrying out the behest of the will in the act of walking, running, leaping, climbing, and the graceful, gliding motions of the interesting and captivating waltz; and although we see a complicated piece of machinery, yet there is perfect order.  Harmony, promptitude and exactness prevail, not only in the skillful manner in which they are individually and collectively range, but in the action of the different muscles, each one of which performs its duty either independently of, or in connection with, its fellow lever, and that, too, without interfering in the slightest degree with the functions of the others.

  Later on in this book we will start to see some examples of muscle building exercise.  There was some strength equipment used back then that largely consisted of free weights and many of the exercises could still be employed today despite the fact that many of the exercises have been perfected for form.
