The INJECTION OF THE LYMPHATIC als for injecting these vessels are only quicksilver, SYSTEM is much more difficult than that of the san. and the ceraceous or coarse injection of anatomists; guiferous, on account of the extreme smallness of the former being always used in injecting the lymtbe vessels; fo that till very lately it was almost phatics and lacteals, it being almost impossible to quite impracticable. Methods indeed had been fill them with another fluid in the dead body. The attempted for this purpose ; but by the improper ceraceous injection is chiefly used for the thoracic form of the instruments, and the inferior skill of duct; and in some particular instances, where the anatomists in former times, we may justly look lymphatic trunks have been found larger than the upon this as one of the most modern improvements ordinary lize, a coarse injection has been made in anatomy.

Mr Sheldon, who has written a treatise in ftarch-water with solutions of musk, or indigo upon this subje&, recommends a winter forenoon in starch-water. “In a word (says Mr Sheldon), from ten to two; it being chiefly in the winter any gelatinous fluids rendered opaque with such season that anatomical preparations are made, and colours as will be absorbed, are extremely ufeful because at that time of the day the light is more for experiments of this kind ; for much more may clear and steady.

XII. PART I, Y which a 1 which means, not only the lacteal trunks became diftended with chyle, but likewife the ampullulæ. In like manner, the absorbing mouths of the lacteal veffels were discovered by Liberkuhn; and in a fimilar manner Afellius difcovered the lacteals themselves. Thus alfo Euftachius difcovered the thoracic duct in a horse; and Mr Hewfon traced the lacteal vessels, lymphatics, and thoracic duct, in birds, by making ligatures on the root of the mefentery, and other parts, which had been previously fed with barley. Mr Hunter likewife was enabled to observe the lacteals of a crocodile when diftended with chyle. The coarse injection for the lymphatics is made of mutton fuet and yellow refin, in the proportion of two thirds of refin to one of fuet. If required of a thicker confiftence, we may add a fmall quantity of pure wax; if of a fofter quality, we may augment the quantity of fuet: Orpiment or king's yellow is generally made ufe of; though others are equally proper, provided they be fine enough. (ii) INJECTION OF THE LYMPHATICS, INSTRUMENTS NECESSARY FOR. These are the injecting tube and pipes, lancets, blowpipes, knives, fciffars, forceps, needles, and thread. The old injecting tube has been found in a manner entirely ufelefs, the pipe being fixed in a glafs tube two or three feet long; which is one of the reafons why, before the time of Hewfon, fo little of the lymphatic fyftem could be injected. Tubes of fuch a length are entirely unmanageable by one person, and it is impoffible to perform the operation properly with two. To perform it in the beft manner, the inftrument should be held in the hand like a pencil or pen. The inftruments used by our author are tubes made either of glass or of brafs; which, when filled with mercury, may be held in the hand like a pen: a glafs tube, how ever, is preferable to the metallic one. It is fome. what in the fhape of a trumpet; fix inches and an half in length, an inch and an half broad where broadeft, and three eighths of an inch where narroweft. A collar of fteel half an inch broad, and three quarters of an inch long, is cemented to this pipe, and a smaller tube of the fame metal is crewed upon the end of the collar; the whole terminating in a capillary tube about an inch in length. This last is the most difficult part of the whole work to execute; it should be drilled out of a folid piece of metal, and not made of a thin bit of plate foldered, as thefe are apt to turn ragged in the edges, and the folder is alfo liable to be deftroyed by the mercury. Thofe ufed by Mr Sheldon were made by drilling a small hole lengthwife through a bit of well-tempered wire. It is cleaned by means of a very small piece of fteel wire capable of paffing through the bore of the tube. This ought to be annealed left it should break; in which cafe, the broken bit could not efily be got out. Very fmall tubes may be made of glass drawn out as fine as we choofe; and though very apt to break, they are eafily repaired. They ought to be very thin, that they may be eafily melted. Sometimes it has been found convenient to fit the collar with a steel stop-cock. The brafs tube reprefented by our author is about nine inches and an half in length, and half an inch wide where wideft. The collar is a full quarter of an inch broad, and of an inch long; a fteel piece and capillary tube being fcrewed to it as in the other. The lancets fhould be exquifitely sharp, to cut into the lymphatic veffels. The latter are easily inflated by the fmall filver blowpipes ufually put up in the diffecting cafes by the London mathematical instrument makers: diffecting knives, fine pointed scissars, accurately made, diffecting forceps, with ftraight or crooked needles, are likewife fubftituted with advantage, as not being affected by the quickfilver. (iii) INJECTION OF THE LYMPHATICS, SUBJECTS PROPER FOR. Mr Sheldon recommends, that they fhould be as free from fat as poffible: he has always found, in the human subject, those who died univerfally dropfical, or of an afcites or anafarca, to be the best, for the following reasons, viz. in fuch there is little or no animal oil, and but a very fmall quantity of red blood; both of which, when they occur in great abundance, very much impede the discovery of the lymphatic veffels; but when the cellular veffels are loaded with water, the abforbents are more readily traced, and with lefs risk of wounding them in diffection: the preparations alfo, particularly the dried ones, are more lafting. This circumftance is of moft confequence in preparing the abforbent vessels of the trunk and extremities of the human subject. Of all the vifcera in young fubjects, only the liver and the lungs can be injected with fuccefs; and thefe may be fuc cessfully injected even in the fœtus. It will be moft proper to begin the operation upon the subject immediately after death, as lymph or chyle will then be more readily found in the veffels, than when we wait a longer time. (iv.) INJECTIONS OF THE LYMPHATICS, VARI OUS METHODS OF PREPARING. In preparing the lacteals, previously diftended with milk in the li ving fubject, it is proper to have the inteftines and mefentery plunged (with the ligature upon the root of the latter) into the rectified spirit of wine This procefs will coagulate the chyle; and the fluid being opaque, the veffels will be beautifully feen when we mean to prepare the parts, by pre ferving them in proof fpirit as wet fpecimens "In this way (fays Mr Sheldon) I have made, in the dog, one of the moft natural preparations that can be feen of the lacteals injected from their ori fices by the natural abforption." We may alic prepare the lacteals by the method ufed by M Hunter, already mentioned; by which they wil be very confpicuous, by the indigo abforbed from the cavity of the inteftines. By tying the thora cie duct near its infertion into the angle formed between the fubclavian and jugular veins on the left fide, or by tying thefe veins on both fides, we may diftend almost all the abforbents of the ani mal. Thus we are enabled to pursue these vessel in many parts where they have not yet been dif covered, where they can fcarcely be traced by in jection, and even in fome parts where it is utter ly impoffible for the injections to reach them. An other method fometimes fuccefsfully ufed by ou author, was first practifed by Malpighi. In thi the part is to be fleeped in water, and the liqui changed as long as it appears tinged with blood fuffering the parts afterwards to remain in the fame water till the putrefaction begins. As foon a out any of it paffing between the fide of the vessel and small pipe, we have only to fill up the tube with mercury as the latter defcends: but if it gets out, we must then tie the vessel. This, however, should always be avoided if poffible; because, if not very dexterously performed, the operator will be apt to feparate the tube from the veffel; and on this account the puncture ought always to be very small, no larger indeed than is neceffary to allow the pipe to get in with difficulty. As the injection proceeds, the preffure on the furface of the quickfilver muft be carried on higher and higher in the courfe of the lymphatic, till we come near the gland or glands into which the veffels terminate; otherwife we shall feldom get the cells of the glands, or the veffels emerging from the oppofite fide of the glands, well injected. In injecting the lymphatic veffels of the extremities, it will be ufeful to raise the part where the pipe is inferted higher than the other end of the limb, and to make the affiftant prefs with his hands along the skin in the courfe of the veffels, which will favour the progrefs of the injection. When the veffels are fufficiently filled, which may be known by the fwelling of them, and by the refiftance the mercury meets with, the affiftant paffes a ligature about the veffel, and ties it above the puncture before the anatomift withdraws the injection pipe. The method of injecting the larger trunks or thoracic duct with the coarfe injection, is exactly fimilar to that already described for the fanguiferous veffels. Mr Sheldon, however, recommends the use of fome pipes of particular conftruction invent. ed by himfelf. The improvement confifts in fhaping the ends of the pipes like a pen; taking care to make the edges and point blunt, to avoid cutting the veffel when we introduce them. Thus much larger tubes than thofe commonly in ufe may be admitted; and there is no occafion to make any bulb or rifing near the extremity of thefe small pipes to prevent the thread from flipping off: for this will certainly hinder us from inferting pipes of fuch diameter as might otherwife be done. Having thus fhown the method of injecting the lymphatics, our author next proceeds to describe the method of diffecting and preparing them either for immediate demonftration, or for prefervation for any length of time. In the dif fection, great care is requifite, on account of the exquifite thinnefs of their coats; but if this should happen by accident, it will then be neceffary to introduce the pipe at the ruptured part; and ha ving fecured it above and below with ligatures, to fill it again as before directed. Our author recommends, for the purpose of diffection, fuch knives as the Germans and French afe in tracing the nerves. They must be made thin in the blade like lancets, and not much larger. A variety of different shaped blades, fome fingle and others double edged, will be neceffary for various parts of the body; the fault of the common diffecting knives being, that they are too thick in the blade, which makes them foon blunt, and occafions the trouble of perpetual grinding, which is not the cafe with thofe juft recommended. A fharp pointed forceps is neceffary, in order to lay faft hold on the fmalleft portion of cellular fubftance; but they ought not to be fo sharp as to Y 2 this begins to take place, the air which is extricated will difend the lymphatics, fo that they may be eafily feen, and then injected with quickfilver. It is, however, remarkable, that this method will not in general anfwer fo well in the human fpecies as in quadrupeds; the air having never paffed by putrefaction into the human lacteals in any of the fubjefts which Mr Sheldon tried, though it will take place in thofe of the horse or afs, and many other animals; drawings of the lacteals may likewife be made in this method to very great advantage. In fame parts of the human body also, this method may be employed to advantage; as the liver, beart, &c. It may likewife be useful to make ligatures on the large trunks of the veffels previous to the maceration, that thus the air may be confined as foon as it is extricated from the coats by putrefaction. Our author adds, that if ligatures were made upon the wrifts and legs in articulo mortis, or immediately after death, the lymph would be ftopped in the veffels, the latter would become diftended, and might be injected with the greatest facility by the common method, after taking off the ligature. Mr Sheldon, in fuch a cafe, recommends the tourniquet. "I have reafon (fays he) to believe, that abforption goes on s long as mufcular irritability remains; which laft continues a confiderable time after the general life of the animal is loft." On this, however, recannot forbear toremark, that making ligatures for fuch purposes upon a human creature in artilo mortis, or even immediately after death, fayours fo much of barbarity, that we cannot think will be often practifed. In fome cafes, even in the dead fubject, ligatures are ufeful; as when we a fearching for the lymphatics in the fingers and In thefe it is ufeful to ftroke up the parts with the finger, by which means the fmall quanty of lymph remaining in the veffels will be forced upwards, and ftopped by the ligature; after ich the veffels may be eafily injected with ickfilver, as already mentioned. To inject the afels, we muft open one or more of them, directing Ce point of the lancet almost always towards the back or trunks of the vessels, and taking care not carry the incifion through the oppofite fide. the veffels happen to be under the peritoneum, the lacteals, or under the pleura, as the lymphaof the lungs, we may cut into their cavity through thefe membranes. In injecting thofe of extremities, however, and in many other parts the body, it is abfolutely neceffary to diffect Gereffels we defign to fill away from the fat and cular fubftance, before we attempt to open with the lancet. The tube with the pipe d to it is previously to be filled with mercuthe anatomift then inflates the veffel by means the blowpipe, takes the tube from the affiftand introduces the fmall tube into the puncIn this operation it will be found neceffary to carry the tube farther into the veffel than Efficient to give the mercury a free paffage; we introduce it farther, the paffage of the Scary will be impeded by the pipe being pufhant the fide of the veffel.

Charms fuch as thine, inimitably great. endanger the puncturing of the veffels: nor should they by any means be bowed or stiff in the fpring, to prevent the fingers of the operator from being wearied in the operation. They fhould alfo be made in such a manner as to hold large as well as fmall portions of reticular fubftance. For diffections of this kind, fine pointed fciffars and lancets fixed in handles are fometimes neceffary; and it is frequently of use to plunge the parts into water, to loosen the reticular membrane connected with the outfide of the coats of the veffels; by which means they may be diffected more eafily, and with lefs danger of wounding them. The blood may be extracted by frequently changing the water. After being injected with quickfilver, the parts fhould not be allowed to remain long in the water, because the volatile alkali formed by putrefaction is apt to change the colour of the mercury. The diffection being performed, the preparation is then to be preferved either in a wet or dry ftate, according to its nature. Preparations of the larger parts, as the trunk or extremities, fhould be preferved dry; and to dry them effectually, they fhould be exposed to a free cur--Virgil copied the ancient fculptors, in that in rent of air, but not to the rays of the fun; and mitable defcription of military fury in the temp! the veffels fhould be difplayed in their natural fitu- of Janus. Addifon. ation. When fully dried, they ought to be varnished over with transparent fpirit or copal var. nifh; which will not only preferve them from infects, but render them more beautiful, and the veffels more confpicuous. They should then be inclosed in glafs cafes, placed in a horizontal pofition, and handled as little as poffible. To make preparations of the thoracic duct, we muft, in the firft place, fill the aorta, vena cava fuperior, and vena azygos or intercoftalis, with coarse injection; then fill with the fame the veffels below the right crus or little mufcle of the diaphragm. The duct is fometimes prepared with quickfilver; but Mr Sheldon recommends to make drawings of any thing new or remarkable in preparations of the lymphatics with quickfilver; as moft of thofe fpecimens, particularly fuch as are dried, become at laft totally ufelefs by the drying of the veffels and the escape or blackening of the mercury; or from the varnish growing opaque by age. The quickfilver injection, however, in fome cafes is very ufeful. Thus, if we wish to demonftrate the valves in the thoracic duct, or any other large abforbent veffel, we need only inject the veffels with quickfilver, diffect and dry them, then cut them open, and let the mercury run out; after which the valves will appear by making fections in the coats of the veffels. This may be done ftill better by varnishing the veffels 3 or 4 times before the fections are made; because the varnish will ftrengthen the fides of the veffel. In wet preparations the valves in the cavities of thefe parts may likewife be demonftrated by opening them; or by inverting the veffels, and fufpending them in proof malt fpirits. Thus the valves that cover the terminations of the thoracic duct on the infide of the angle formed between the jugular and fubclavian veins on the left fide, and thofe which terminate the lymphatics on the right fide of the neck, arm, and lungs, may be beautifully demonftrated.
