Butchers sometimes introduce a pipe into a piece of meat and blowair into its areolar Texture, giving it the appearance of being fatter than it spaces are always moist ; when the moisture increases it producesgeneral dropsy ; even when small in amount it sometimes settles to the feet,which swell ; if the person raises his feet, or lays down, the fluid will return. Fat is a secretion into microscopic sacs, bags or cells of Secretory Tis$uejwhich are deposited in the areolar spaces of some parts of the 45 Both varieties are exceedingly strong, binding t4ie partsof the Body with a strength hardly realizable. They arethe strongest of all organic substances, much exceeding instrength any hempen or other rope of the same is simply tanned Sinewy Tissue ; the Indiansmake the strongest thongs and their bow-strings from un-tanned sinews ; the strings of violins, and of the like in-struments, and called cat-gut, are made of the sinewy tissueof the entrails of animals.^ All these Tissues, being more than half the weight of theBody, in health undergo changes very slowly, and needvery little blood. All three are practically the same in * As this strong Sinewy Tissue binds the head to the hones of the necK,and also hinds them together, the neck is rarely broken in hanging. Noris there any rupture nor injury, at least with rare exceptions, to the spinalcord of the part (pith of the neck
