this is so curious that we must not pass it over
in silence II is maintained that an artery
leads thence directly to the heart, and it is by
right of this relation that marriage rings are
placed on it. Old apothecares used to mix
their prescriptions in presence of the client
with this privileged finger to indicate that no
hnrful substance was present. The thumb
had hid its day Of glory, when it was ordered
to open the touchpan, or take the cartridge by
the aid Of the first finger. Formerly, soldiers
and physicians wore their rings upon the thumb
II was thought that this ring, which was usn-
