146 GENERAL ANALYSIS. 



never been analyzed ; therefore the Analysis of the Body 

 can be carried no farther. 



586. CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS are produced by the 

 combination of Elements. The character of one does 

 not indicate that of the other. 



587. Illus. Water, a liquid, is a chemical com- 

 pound of Oxygen and Hydrogen gases. 



588. PLANTS USE some of the Elements in their 

 simple, but mostly in a compound, state. 



589. ANIMALS AND MAN USE one element, oxygen, 

 in the air breathed ; one chemical compound, water, as 

 a drink another, salt ; also Vegetable, Organic, or Prox- 

 imate Principles as food. 



590. IT is EVIDENT, from the method of compound- 

 ing the Tissues, that water and air are used, not to form 

 the Tissues, but to produce heat, or as vehicles for 

 equalizing temperatures, and bringing away substances 

 decomposing in the Tissues. 



591. IN THE SYNTHESIS OF MAN from Chemical Ele- 

 ments, the first step will be to Chemical Compounds ; 

 the second, to Proximate Elements ; the third, to Tissues; 

 the fourth, to Organs / the fifth, to Apparatus / the sixth, 

 to Groups ; the seventh, to Members / the eighth, to the 

 Body / the ninth, the MIND, being added, to MAN. 



592. IT SEEMS TO BE PROVED that the Analysis and 

 Synthesis of Man thus exhibited is correct, from the fact 

 that there are general terms in common use correspond- 

 ing to the divisions, and no more ; as follows : 



Human Constitution corresponds to Elements.
