Indeed,it will require but little stretch of tl^ imagination to per-ceive that all the Secretory Tissue in and forming the sur-face of the Body could be stripped from the parts to whichit adheres without pain, or a drop of blood, and leaving allthe other Tissues undisturbed. This essential peculiarityand independence of the Secretory Tissue will be better ap-preciated by noticing ITS STBUCTUEE. Secretory Tissue is a very thin, delicate substance, a merefilm, thinner than the side of a soap bubble. Indeed, thin-ness and a surface seem to be its essential characteristics. 51. Fig. 7. Fig. 6 is a beautiful plan or partially imaginary representation of (1) a single layer of cells,resting upon (2) basement membrane, adherentto (3) the fibrous sinewy true skin or membrane,containing blood tubes and nerves not repre- 6sented, (4) arteries, veins, and capillary net-workbetween them.

They are inclined to adhere, asat 3. 4, 5, 6, 7, the same more magnified showing 5, the conves, and 7, the con-cave surfaces that the same cell will exhibit at different times. Their semi-transparence is show at 6. Their true size can be imagined when it is known that in every drop ofhealthy blood there are (2,800) twenty-eight hundred of them, and a variationot a couple of hundred either way will be always attended with ill health, andvice versa. Dr. Draper says, twenty millions die at each pulsation J
