The human machine, its care and repair; or, How to develop the body, preserve the health, meet emergencies, nurse the sick, and treat disease; . ecutedby the experienced hand of M. Balicki, and here faithfully re-produced, show each organ as it would appear if actually beforethe eyes. Each plate exhibits for comparison the parts in theirhealthy, as well as in their diseased state. PLATE I. THE STOMACH. Fig. I. Normal Stomach.—Laid open to show its internalsurface lined by healthy mucous membrane. The organ, hererepresented moderately distended, varies much in size according tothe amount of food contained, and the habits, as to eating anddrinking, of the individual. The inner surface of the stomach,like that of the rest of the alimentary canal, consists of mucousmembrane. This mucous lining is smooth, velvety, and moist,and varies in tint from pale rose to a reddish violet—as anyonemay see for himself by looking at the mucous membrane of hismouth in a mirror. When not distended it lies in folds. Themucous membranes constitute the inner coating of most of thecavities of the body, they serve as a basis of support to the blood. *w FIG. 1.
