The SCELETON of a Man. Wherein the number of Bones (about two hundred and fifty) together with their dimensions, figures, and articulations are all easily observable. Given by Thomas Povey Esquire.

The History of the Bones, as finished, is well perform'd by most Anatomists. But the manner, and order of their beginning and perfection, hath been given us, so far as I know, by the diligent Observations of Kirckringius (a) (a) Kirckringii Osteologia. only.

Of all Humane Bones indifferently, as well as of the Skull, are prepared, Spiritus simplicior, Spiritus oleosus, Oleum rectificatum, & Magisterium. Amongst which, the spiritus oleosus, if well prepared, is of undoubted use against Hysterical Passions, and in some other Cases, where the Nerves especially are affected.

A Portion of the INTESTINUM JEJUNUM: wherein the Valvulæ conniventes observed by Rhuysserius, delineated by Kirckringius, are well seen.
