Wonders of the Eye. – the human eye is one of the most wonderful, as well as delicate, organs of the body. It is the window through which the heart, mind and soul of man shines. Sorrow or joy, reformers, pain or pleasure, sunshine or shadow or reflected through this wondrous camera of light; the human passions hold their orgies in this window; truth and love dance they’re happy and joyous daydreams before its luminous curtain; and through it accurate to limitations of every object comes within its range are carried to and photographed on the brain, the great Art Gallery of the soul! Can man, with all of his great and scientific achievements, conceive of anything in the arcana of his accomplishments more beautiful, more wonderful, or more perfect than the human eye!

Just a quick refresher, our transcription strives to be great but is still not fool proof.  If you spot an error or something that looks wrong, please drop us a comment and let us know and we will review it again.  As we cover writing from 100 years ago, it sometimes becomes difficult to spot an error created now from one that was borderline then.  In the meantime, we'll try not to pull the roller shades down over our own eyes . . .

• 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.

• Catching up and a small Setback
  
  

  I am working to catch up on some of my projects today, especially my writing.  I’ve been working literally night and day on several different web related projects and my hobby here at history of the book of medicine has taken a little to the backseat.  I’ve been helping several new bloggers get their blogs up and running, and I’ve been helping several clients initiate professional blogs, with a website and a shopping cart.  More importantly I’ve been working on several of my own business endeavors that help to fund my efforts here so I can spend the time cataloging the history of medicine is was taught a hundred years ago.  I’m also in the middle of a relocation from the Atlanta area to the Charlotte, North Carolina area and so I’ve been moving back and forth throughout all this preparing the new home and preparing to leave the old home.  In part this means that I have to setup and breakdown my office almost every day moving from one desk or location to the next.  One day I might find myself sitting on a couch and working, laptop and lap, and another day I might be sitting down to Kinko’s in front of a row of modern desks or even sitting on the dock by the lake underneath a ceiling fan watching the dogs chase after insects and each other.

   

  I noticed this week as google went through their update that our website here, got knocked down a peg or two and that doesn’t bother me terribly much.  I have not been promoting this website terribly hard, as this truly is a hobby and not so much a business, that said it was a good reminder that I need to network more with other  websites that might have a similar aim or focus or even some that are tangentially related.

   

  So if you have a medical related blog, and medical history blog or even alternative medicine blog or website, please leave me a comment I’d like to review possibly exchanging links and building up better network.  (Please no spamming comments, we can exchange more details off-line if necessary.)

• Rhynoplasty
  
  

  Years ago California was not necessarily a place known for its health care system.  It was definitely not known for its capability to deliver some of the best medical procedures and practices such as cosmetic surgery or reconstructive surgery.  Today Beverly Hills and Los Angeles are both known for providing the home offices of some of the best cosmetic and reconstructive surgeons in the world.

  It started in part when they began catering to the rich and famous.  However there are only so many rich and famous people out there and more and more people are seeking out reconstructive processes such as rhinoplasty in Beverly Hills.

  In fact there are several good medical reasons why rhinoplasty Beverly Hills might be considered.  It can help many people suffering form chronic sinus infections or even people suffering from problematic breathing disorders such as snoring to breathe easy once again or possibly for the first time in their life.

  Procedures such as, rhinoplasty Los Angeles, do not just provide a nose job, but can in fact enable a person to live a more normal life.  Looking better is still one of the larger reasons for a rhinoplasty procedure, but after years of the procedures we are learning that they can cure or improve other medical problems that are not cosmetic in nature.
