Purgative medicines ought at all times to be exhibited with caution to an infant, for so delicate and susceptible is the structure of its alimentary canal, that disease is but too frequently caused by that which was resorted to in the first instance as a remedy.

For, in plethoric and gross children, the local abstraction of blood from the head, and the complete unloading of the alimentary canal, are often necessary to render such a measure beneficial, or even free from danger.

Foods may be conveniently divided into four great classes, to which the name food-stuffs or alimentary principles has been given.

Condiments increase the pleasure of eating, and by their stimulating properties promote secretions of the digestive fluids and excite the muscular contractions of the alimentary canal.

The digestive apparatus of the human body consists of the alimentary canal and tributary organs which, although outside of this canal, communicate with it by ducts.

The alimentary canal consists of the mouth, the pharynx, the oesophagus, the stomach, and the intestines.

The dilated upper part of the alimentary canal is called the pharynx.

The stomach is the most dilated portion of the alimentary canal and the principal organ of digestion.

At the pyloric end of the stomach the alimentary canal becomes again a slender tube called the small intestine.

Of the various ingredients of the bile, only the bile salts are of use in the work of digestion, for they act upon the fats in the alimentary canal, and aid somehow in their emulsion and absorption.

While food remains within the alimentary canal it is as much outside of the body, so far as nutrition is concerned, as if it had never been taken inside.

It is a process not confined, as we shall see, simply to the alimentary canal, but one that is going on in every tissue.

We have traced the food from the alimentary canal into the blood.

As the skin is an outside covering, so is the mucous membrane a more delicate inside lining for all cavities into which the apertures open, as the alimentary canal and the lungs.

How she dawdles about all day, with her eyes not an inch from the ground, forever scratching and feeding in dirtiest places,a sort of animated muck-rake, with a mouth and an alimentary canal!

The only difference in the modern account of the matter is, that the ambergris originates within the alimentary canal of the whale, in consequence, probably, of some disease; and that the lumps which are found afloat, or cast on shore, had been extruded by these animals.

Among them we must distinguish those that live in inert organic matters, alimentary substances, or debris of living beings, and which cause chemical decompositions called fermentations.

In such a section we see the edge of the two shells on either side; within these the edge of the mantle; then the double rows of gills; and in the middle the alimentary canal, the heart, and the blood-vessels branching right and left.

In composition they are all similar, but variations in their constituent elements and the relative amounts of these various elements, give them different degrees of alimentary value.

Sugar is not needed with grains to increase their alimentary value.

He was well answered by an indignant Scotchman who replied, "Yes; and where can you find such fine men as in Scotland, or such horses as in England?" Oatmeal justly ranks high as an alimentary substance.

According, in Mr. Lindsay's treatise, we have upwards of forty pages of elementary instructions, definitions, and concise treatises, copiously interspersed with musical illustrations; whereas the engraved treatises are generally meagre in their instructions, from the difficulty of punching text illustrations.

The article on accentuation is, we are told, the first successful attempt in any elementary work on the Flute, to define this important subject.

The true answer to which is: "A letter is an alphabetic character, which commonly represents some elementary sound of human articulation, or speech.

The same may be said of all the characters used for abbreviation; as, & for and, $ for dollars, or the marks peculiar to mathematicians, to astronomers, to druggists, &c. None of these are alphabetic, and they represent significant words, and not single elementary sounds: it would be great dullness, to assume that a word and an elementary sound are one and the same thing.

When they do not govern such an object, they are intransitive, whatever may be their power on other occasions; as, "The grand elementary principles of pleasure, by which he knows, and feels, and lives, and moves.

Dr. Comstock, by ¸enumerating as elementary the sound of the diphthong ou, as in our, and the complex power of wh, as in what, (which sounds ought not to be so reckoned,) makes the whole number of vocal elements in English to be "thirty-eight."

C, q, and z, are respectively represented by k or s, k, and ks, or gz; and the remaining twenty-three letters are employed to represent forty-one elementary sounds.
