Remark.—The brain is quite soft in childhood, andblows upon the skull bones may produce disease, and 70 ANATOMY, niTSIOLOGY, AND HYGIENE. even death. Hence no child should ever bo struckupon the head. Q. Why should not a child be struck upon the head ? 158. In BIRDS, the large and small brain are nearly of the same size; but the small brain is not divided into two parts. Where the nerves of the legs and wings originate,
