ral physician" in the cheek-bones, in the attitude
of the head and neck, and by the thoughtful, observant expression of the
eye. The combination of systems in this subject is such as is most
frequently observed among physicians, viz., the supremacy of the osseous
and brain systems. The muscular, thoracic, and vegetative powers all
assist in this combination by their development. The signs for
Conscience and Firmness are apparent. Love of Home and Patriotism rank
high. Benevolence, Amativeness, Love of Young, Mirth, Approbation,
Self-esteem, Modesty, Friendship, Alimentiveness, Sanativeness,
Pneumativeness, and Color combine to form a lovely domestic and social
nature. The form, size, and peculiarities of the nose claim attention.
It is a nose denoting Constructiveness, Originality, and logical power.
The signs for Hope, Analysis, Mental Imitation, Human Nature, Ideality,
Sublimity, Construction, and Acquisition are strongly delineated.

practical faculties, being dominant, would give clearness, perspicacity,
and directness to his style of expression, either oral or written. Time,
Order, Reason, and Intuition are well developed. The long-continued
observation and experiments of this noble physician in his endeavor to
protect humanity from the ravages of small-pox by his discovery of
vaccination, met at last with a suitable recognition, for he received by
a vote of Parliament the sum of L30,000, and special honors were awarded
him. It is a singular fact that all of the benefactors of the human
race--those who have benefited it by discoveries of any kind
whatever--have met with the most violent opposition, treachery, and
often disgrace, before they could make the world see the value of their
discoveries. Such was the case with Dr. Jenner, but his firmness and
truth at last gained the victory.]
The best _form_ for a surgeon who attempts the most severe
operations is the round build of body and head, and many of them
are of this shape. The muscular system should be supreme, with
the brain system a close second, the bony and thoracic systems
about equal and next in development.
The muscular tissue is _comparatively unfeeling_--insensitive;
