Part 32

The initial letter of the first word should indicate the part of bone to which the muscle is attached, e.g., Sp = spinous process, T = transverse process, R = rib, &c. The second word should indicate by its consonants the numbers of the bones to which the attachment is made.

(3) Correlate the homophone of the muscle to the first pair of words, and the first pair to the second pair. For example:

"The SPLENIUS COLLI is attached, inferiorly, to the spinous processes of the third, fourth, fifth, and sixth dorsal vertebræ, and superiorly to the transverse processes of the first two or three cervical vertebræ."

spleniuS COLLi (homophone) SCOLD. SCOLD ... cold ... marble ... SPLENDID IMAGE ... gold statuette ... chimney ornament ... clock ... 'TIS TIME.

In the first pair of words the initial of Splendid shows that the attachment is to the Spinous processes, and the word Image indicates that the vertebræ implicated are the third to the sixth. The second pair show that the transverse processes, from the first to the third, are those into which the muscle is inserted.

"The SPLENIUS CAPITIS arises from the spines of the seventh cervical and two upper dorsal vertebræ and from the ligamentum nuchæ. It is inserted into the lower and back part of the mastoid process, and into the outer part of the superior curved line of the occipital bone."

POISONS AND ANTIDOTES.

Narcotic poisons are neutralized by vinegar:--NARCOTICS ... torpor ... strong wine ... sour wine ... vinegar.

Wine, brandy, coffee, and camphor may be used to rouse those who have taken laudanum or any other preparation of opium ... OPIUM ... opium eater ... intemperate ... brandy ... wine ... beverage ... coffee ... cough ... cold ... camphorated spirit ... camphor.

Mucilage, camphor, and oil may be taken to neutralize cantharides:--CANTHARIDES ... hair-grower ... oil ... smooth-running ... ease ... comfort ... camphor ... fur cat ... mew ... mucilage.

1. Are antidotes for Poisons easy to remember? 2. Should not all persons have a knowledge of the antidotes for the ordinary poisons? 3. What method have I given to obtain such knowledge? 4. What is the relation between "Narcotics" and "torpor"?

1. Can you discover more than one relation existing between "grain" and "flour"? 2. Why could we not use the single word "white," to connect "white of egg" to "flour"? 3. What is the relation between "liquid" and "oil"? 4. What two relations exist between "vomiting" and "irritating"? 5. What one, between "fowls" and "barley"? 6. Why? 7. What is the relation between "wheat flour" and "flowers of sulphur"?
