From Anatomy, he derives a knowledge of the relative situation of parts, and how far and in what manner they are likely to be injured by direct or indirect violence, from Physiology, he is enabled to decide how far the functions of respi ration, circulation, and secretion, have been affected, or whether their arrest was occasioned through the instrumentality of disease or by the hand of man, by Pathology, he is instructed how to, dis criminate between the healthy and morbid conditions of each por tion Of the animal economy, and to judge of what the distinctive characters to which his attention may be directed, are the result, and by Chemistry, he is taught how to analyze the contents' of the cavities, to remove the disguise from poisonous substances, and test their exact qualities.
