| In a world where rain water is polluted more and more by run off following the decimation of forests, trees, and large tracts of land, it is no wonder that we suffer from ozone at ground level and not at stratospheric levels, its only a matter of time before we all have to invest in portable oxygen concentrators to keep our homes habitable. |
Impurities in Rain-Water.--It contains, however, small quantities of organic matter, nitric acid and ammonia, all of which are washed out of the air through which it descends as rain. The source of the nitric acid is believed to be the nitrogen of the atmosphere, which combines with oxygen under the influence of the electric spark during thunder-storms. Nitric acid in rain-water exists in such insignificant amount as to be entirely unimportant in itself ; but it adds very seriously to the danger of impregnation with lead from lead pipes, roofs and cisterns by rapidly dissolving that metal and forming the very soluble and highly poisonous salt, nitrate of lead.

- Nature’s Treasures Open to Man
Nature’s Treasures Open to Man.- all this is a very complicated and diversified process, the necessity for which can only be explained on the hypothesis that nature, in her exhaustless munificence, has opened her proud domains, and poured forth to man the treasures of every land and every sea for food; the cornfields waved their golden grain for him; the wheat, rye, oats, corn, maize, rice, each different, yet highly nutritious and sufficing; the Palm, the date, the banana, the fig, a pineapple, spread out a delicious harvest on the air; the luscious apple, peer, beach, plum, cherry, tempt his ready hand; the potato, the beat, the turnip, tomato, cabbage, the pea, cauliflower, and a thousand other good things, incite his appetite, whilst to this feast is added the flesh of birds, of oxen, of sheep, of swine and of fish; that before the waving wheat and corn, the flesh of other animals, the fruits and farinaceous foods, the running water, the luscious oyster and fish, etc., can be transformed into the refined in spiritual organization of man, it must be thoroughly prepared by the several steps in the digestive process — then, and only then, is it permitted to enter into and co-mingle with the highly complex, nutritious and life-sustaining fluid, the blood.
Wow, now that was really a mouthful. I thought I would never finish all of those extra long lists that attempted to catalog everything that was possible to be from each of the food groups in a single sentence. You may not realize it but that entire paragraph up above was one single sentence or as any of my teachers throughout any of my classes with state, that was one great big freaking run on!
Absolutely ridiculous the number of semicolons and comas that were used throughout that entire mess. I think I probably put on 5 pounds just reading that great big run on a sentence about food. I have to buy a new can of Miracle burn just to speed up my metabolism. I have to wake up in the morning and compete in an Ironman competition just get back on an even keel. Regardless Dragon Naturally Speaking definitely had a lot of fun with that one!
- THE BRAIN; AND A VERTICAL SECTION OF THE FACE AND NECK.
in this section we start to follow the book as it starts to describe some of the basic functions in areas of the brain. The sexual be much more enlightening once we have the pictures up (chart 1). For now the language sounds somewhat overdone, however forth. The language was actually fairly straightforward and basic.
What the Plate Shows – as we progress in our anatomical core says of study, our tension is firmly and deeply fixed in wonder and amazement at the marvelous mechanism revealed in the sublime profundity and grandeur brought out in this magnificent artistic plate. it brings before our astonished vision the beautiful proportions and symmetry of the human brain as it lays in situ within its bony castle; and as we look upon its way becalmed Aleutians we naturally turn our thoughts to the hidden mysteries of mind and to its superiority over matter, and to the illimitable intellectual properties,powers and capacity of the mind, that lay quietly slumbering in the depths of the human brain, for the mind of man surpasseth all things of human conception or construction. Below this mighty throne of reason and intelligence, on the left, we observed the cerebellum or lesser brain, I found from whence all the vegetative or organic functions of life — as respiration, beating of the heart, digestion, etc. — receive their inspiration and supply of vital force.
there are two more parts that go along with this section of this chapter, the next section is the “view of the eye” and then the “the neck muscles” section. as these next two sections are relatively sure we will cover those together in the next article.
- Muscles of the Eye
Muscles of the Eye.-I’m turning the flap we see four of the six delicate, who with all strong muscles which I would hold I firmly in its bony orbit, but also moved upward toward the canopied vaults of heaven, downward to view the beauties of nature on earth; or sideways to the right or left, Spain have to horizon at a single glance! The next illustration gives us a graphic and faithful to limitation of the beautiful arrangements of the numerous curtains, humors, lenses, pigments, membranes, nervous coats and blood vessels which enter into the composition of this remarkable organ, each of which is exquisitely adapted to the respective functions has to perform.
As you can tell, we are getting back on track with this effort after a couple month hiatus mostly do to (ironically) poor health. No other projects are going to slow us down and we now have a promoter that will even help us hire more transcriptionists as we cover Wilmington real estate.
