Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Intestinal Canal and Peritoneum in Man The account of the intestinal canal and peritoneum in man that is here presented is derived from the systematic examination of one hundred fresh bodies. Through the kindness of my colleagues, Drs. Sutton and Turner, the pathologists to the London Hospital, I was enabled to open, before the performance of the usual necropsy, all the bodies of patients who had died of other than abdominal disease. The bodies, therefore were quite fresh, and, in many instances, still warm. I had long been convinced that a study of this part of anatomy was rendered liable to many fallacies when conducted in dissecting-room subjects in whom decomposition had advanced, and in whom one could expect, for various reasons, some displacement of parts. Certain questions as to vascular-supply I have followed out in injected preparations. I have also derived considerable information from the dissection of a number of f tuses of various ages. Moreover, through the kindness and courtesy of Mr. Beddard, the Prosector to the Zoological Society, I have been enabled to make a detailed examination of the viscera of many of the Mammalia, the examination including the dissection of forty different species. This latter work has been of the greatest service in throwing light upon many obscure points in human anatomy.
