Practical hydropathy, including plans of baths and remarks on diet, clothing and habits of . ds of life :—one year, 120 to 130 ; live orsix years, 100 to 106 j seven years, 90 to 95; puberty, 80; adult age, C5 to 75;sixty years, 60; old age, 50. Sources or Lymph.—The liquid part of theblood, called the liquorsanrjuiiiis, or plasma,charged with nutritiveprinciples, exudes bythe process of exos-mose through the coatsof the capillaries, andbeing diffused amongthe tissues, supplies tothem respectively thematters proper for theirrepair. The residuumof the plasma is ab-sorbed by the multitudeof lymphatics whichpass through the sameparts, into which it en-ters by the process ofendosmose. In thisstate it constituteslymph, and is carriedback by the lymphaticvessels to the sub-clavian veins. — OP THE UPPER PART OF THE TRUNK AND HEAD. Structure or the Lymphatic Glands.—It was formerly supposed that, inpassim? through the glands, the lymphatics entered into direct communicationwith the blood-vessels. The researches of modern physiologists have proved this. BTRUCTtTKH OF THE LYMPHATIC GLAND3. 375 to be an error. A,lymphaic dand consists of a mass of minute lympnatic vessels,anions which nnmeroits sansniiferous capillaries (blood-vessels) ramify. Betweenthe two sets of vessels there :s no inosculation. They eonduel their respectivefluids altogether ol each other. The lymph which passes into thegland by the afferent vessel-, passes out of it by the efferent ones, having in thegland been subdivided by the minute and multiplied lubes which formthe substance of the gland. Whether there is any interchange between the bloodof the capillaries in the gland by exudation or exosniose and the lymph of thesmaller lymphatic vessels, is mere matter of Conjecture, unsupported as yet bynny results of immediate observation.
