evidently means the spinal marrow,

! In the text he reveals the fact that
he had studied that largest gland of
the human system, the liver, not by
the electric light of the modern di>sect-

comparatively dark age, and yet had
seen its important functions in the

hepatic artery through which flow the

the New Testament was written by a
