Size, Shape and Location of the Heart. --In this beautiful anatomical chart we obtain an accurate idea of the relative size, shape and position of that wonderful engine, the heart, his tireless efforts to keep the wheels of life and motion are truly surprising, and fill us with amazement at the prodigious work at daily performs. The heart is in your regular, pear-shaped hollow, muscular organ, placed obliquely in the lower in front part of the chest, between the two lungs and inclining to the left of the centre. the bases directed toward the spine and corresponds with the fourth and fifth dorsal spine bone, while the apex points between the cartilages of the fifth and sixth ribs on the left side. In this illustration the pericardium, or loose sac in which the heart is enclosed, is removed and we see the coronary artery with its branches distributed over the outer surface of the complex and restless organ.This section wasn't written to poorly, or maybe a better way to say this is that it seems to stood the test of time fairly well. Second sentence got a little bit wordy and again I would suspect a paid by the word contract, but in general this was fairly descriptive and fairly on point. You might notice the spelling of the word centre spelled with an 're' as opposed to an 'er' I suspect that may be one of those variations in spelling that have occurred over the centuries. Otherwise it was fairly tame. The chart that they're referring to his Chart 2 by the way.

- Great Value and Beauty of the Plate
Great Value and Beauty of the Plate.–We can understand much of this wonderful process. We have looked into the stomach, watched its peculiar actions and traced its various steps, from which the scientist is capable, in his laboratory of knives, mortars, baths, chemicals and filters, of imitating many of the operations of digestion; but just at the moment he thinks himself most successful, he is compelled to pause. At the threshold of that “one step more,” which Fontenelle required, “and he would surprise nature herself,” he stops, and very wisely, without concealment of his designs, admires, then wonders, and finally worships with all the reverence of his soul.
After reading that diatribe, I have to honestly say I have no idea what the author is talking about. The other seems beyond some strange sort of rant about science, scientists in the digestive system. Unfortunately he’s ranting on a bunch of nonsense almost sound like he’s talking about Frankenstein’s monster. One things for sure I’m glad that I didn’t take a class instructed by this writer. If this book is that hard to understand from sheer gibberish, I can just imagine what’ll lecture would be like.
I don’t think this has so much to do with the difference in the decades of the century even. This seems to be more of an issue of an author suffering from the ability to provide a clear thought and written format. It’s almost like listening to Charlie Brown’s teacher lecture on real estate over the telephone in a Peanuts cartoon.
WAh wah wah wah , wu wah . . . .
This entry seems to reaffirm my belief that this author got paid by the word and not by the concept of thought.
- The Fibula and Sciatic Nerve
the fibula. — not only does this second bone-the fibula-get additional string in support to the lake proper, but it likewise increases the bony area or surface of the lake, to which its powerful muscular lovers are attached.
The Sciatic Nerve.- the large sciatic nerve, its position, course and distribution, is graphically outlined, and as we look upon this point, since the court, we are deeply impressed with the force and truth of what Shakespeare makes one of his characters, to moan say:
“________the cold sciatica
Cripples our senators, but their limbs may halt
as plainly as their manners.”
Now I do understand that this is not terribly exciting reading at this point in time. Enough to let a person get some sleep at a hotel trying to offer up time share real estate Branson options, I’m sure.
- How to Perfect Your Smile with Veneers?
One hundred years ago the smile you were born with or grew soon there after, was pretty much as good as it got. In fact, you could probably count on things getting worse as you got older and at best you could expect false teeth if you could afford them in cash.These days we have many new options to make your smile as good as that of a movie star’s. In addition to straightening your teeth with braces, you can have your smile brightened up with veneers.
A veneer is simply something that goes on the outside face of your teeth. It can be composite veneers, made of a composite of materials that is applied to your tooth. It can also be porcelain and can then be bonded directly to the exterior of your teeth.
You do not have to have your teeth pulled to end up with a perfect looking smile. You can also maintain your teeth just like you would today, brushing and flossing as you still have the same teeth, they just get a makeover!
You do not have to shell out a fortune going to an orthodontist, you can simply go to a dentist to have the procedure done. Its easier than having a cap or filling put on your teeth and painless as well.
