ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY, 





3d, The bilious, in which the muscular system predominates. 

 The body is remarkable for compactness of fibre, indicative of 

 strength and activity. 



4th, The nervous, in which there is a thin, sharp outline, irregu- 

 lar and vivacious activity, and great susceptibility of impressions, 

 and which betoken the predominance of the nervous over all the 

 other functions. Says Shakspeare 



Let me have men about me that are fat ; 

 Sleek-headed men, and such as sleep o' nights ; 

 Yond' Cassius has a lean and hungry look; 

 He thinks too much ; such men are dangerous.
