= = =, PSoAtACh vi uuIudn anatomy,
ar!tilincialiy constructed of the material IA
miilarly known as papier maehe. 1t
consists OF perfect model of man,
neaf'y SIX ieet high, standing upon a Pc
destal, and presenting the appearance of
me entire body, Invested of the skin and
Cellular tissue. The muscles, blood-yes-
sells and nerves on the whole surface are
exposed, and are all beautifully colored TO
the lie, as indeed is every portion of this
admirable contrivance. Each particular
muscle, artery, vein, nerve, and indeed
the most minute portion Of the organiza-
tlon' is capable of being successfully re-
moved, until hundreds of pieces are de-
tached for separate examination. and the
whoIe ediflce of the human body is thus
literally taken down, and its multiplied
portions contemplated apart, as we'll as in
their natural and relative positions And
after the head, trunk and exlremi,ies.
together with all the internal organs, are
thus separately laid upon the tables, and
even their internal ana external organizl-
ton exposed in detached paris, so ingen-
ions ana accurate is the adaptation of all
these distinct portions Of human structure
to each other, that in few MINUTES every
porIion can be restored to its proper place,
and the entire body be thus reconstructed
as before.
Anatomy may thus be studied both by
analysis aud synthesis the entire bodv.
with all It's organs, being first taken apart,
with as much ease as the fragments Of a
dissected nap; and then every portion
may De restored TO its place, until the
whole is as perfect as before. But the
grand and Important advantage OF such
= model is in The facility it affords for cul-
tIvatlng The study of human anatomy.
without the use of human body, and
without inhaling the putrvscent atmos-
phere of dissecting room, which the
non-professional know how to estimate.
An exhibition Of this maonifcent work
OF art was given by DR.. Bedford few
days since, in the presence of large
number OF gentlemen, among whom we
recognized many of the most respectable
physicians and surgeons of this city, and
all OF whom expressed their high gratii
cation that so valuable an ACQUISITION To
anatomical pursuits had been introduced
INTO our city, and all were delighted with
the accuracy and beauty of the mechan-
ism by which the various parts of this
complicated structure can be so readily
removed and replaced.
DIR. b. intends employing it for teach
ing anatomy, as we learn, to popular
classes; and at the same time, with com-
mendable liberality, he extends to all his
professional brethren the privilege of ex-
aiming it at their leisure, which will ex.
tend lis usefulness.
We marvel that our colleges have not
long since procured similar means of in-
structlon, and that our city has to be in
debted to individual enterprise for this
method Of teaching the all important sci
ence OF anatomy.-N Y Spec.
