74 GENERAL ANALYSIS. 



tion required in or of the Body, and each minute con- 

 traction of each and all the muscles must be every 

 instant present to the mind : this result is a wonderful 

 use of the muscular sense. 



211. ALL PARTS OF THE BODY ARE BALANCED, Or their 



motions adjusted to the requirements of any desired 

 motion, by means in part of the muscular sense.
