in calling public attention to the superb Models aud Specimens 
of the Human Body which form so interesting a feature in the 
Parisian Cabinet of Wonders and Anatomy, it may be proper 
to state, that the primary object has been to enable the thinking 
mind fully to comprehend the wonders of the human structure, 
whilst the familiar classification and descriptive accounts attached 
to the various articles in the collection enable the non-medical vis- 
itor to turn the Institution to real practical account, in the acquire - 
ment of knowledge which is not now, as was formerly the case, con- 
fined to the mere professional student. 
To those laboring under disease much useful knowledge will 
also be acquired, by a study of the Pathological division of the In- 
stitution. Here the marvellous reality with which the effects of cer- 
tain* diseases are delineated speak the skill of the anatomical artist, 
whilst they convey a powerful moral lesson of the deceitfulness of 
vice, which, amidst its most seductive allurements, leaves so fear- 
ful an impress indelibly marked on the human frame. 
From the great extent and varied excellence of the articles in 
the Institution, it is difficult to particularise their indvidual claims 
to attention. But it must be sufficiently obvious, that the extraor- 
dinary work of artistical skill described at No. 459, possesses merit 
of a very high order. By the temporary removal of a portion of 
the body, we have placed before us all the most important organs ; 
so that, without pursuing our investigations in the " blood and filth 
of the dissecting room," which was formerly considered indispen- 
sable, we may fully comprehend the whole of the secrets of na- 
ture's handiwork. 4 
The wonders of Embryology are fully exhibited in the interesting- 
series of natural prepartions, preserved in spirits of wine, in this 
division of the Institute. The labor of preparation will readily be 
understood by a reference to the fact, that every stage of develop- 
ment is clearly shown, from the embryo of the eighth day to the 
complete foetus. This extensive series of natural preparations is 
preceded by views of the uterus and vagina, which have also excited 
great interest, for their perfect illustration of the scientific anatomy 
of the subject. 
In the Works of Art which form so important a feature of attrac- 
tion in the Institution, great care has been paid to the selection of 
subjects which bear on the beauties of the human form". Thus, 
whilst a figure, the size of life, gives a perfect representation of the 
muscular arrangement by which motion is imparted, the perfection 
of feminine beauty is exquisitely portrayed in the large figure of 
Venus, by an eminent Italian master. The same remarks apply to 
the pictures which adorn the walls of the building. 
But in the list of anatomical and physiological wonders that 
present themselves to the visitor, we must not omit to notice some 
of the extraordinary cases where a direct departure from the ordi- 
nary structural arrangements present themselves. Thus a "Child 
with the tail of a Fish" is in the immediate neighborhood of a 
"Boy with Two Faces," whilst another example of a real child with 
"One head united to Two Bodies" may be considered as a lusus 
natures of no ordinary interest. CATALOGUE

1 The inferior maxillary bone or under jaw : the anterior posi- 
tion projects inferiorly into the mental process or chin; superiorly, 
it is surmounted by alveoli for the teeth ; anteriorly, it has on each 
side a depression for muscles ; and posteriorly, eminences and de- 
pressions for muscles.

VIII., procured by the proprietors at great expense. 
12 The pelvis of a female-a (basin) cavity formed by the os 
innominata and sacrum. 
13 Pelvis and spinal column of the ostrich. Great curiosity, as 
they are seldom captured. 
14 Male pelvis. 
15 Great freak of Nature. Ossified bone found iu the year 1848, 
at Winchester Cathedral, England, the burial place of Richard III.

Rome. 
23 Section of the skull and vertebrae. 
24 Thorax and vertebrae column of a female. 
25 Spinal column of a seal. 
26 Bones of the spine or vertebrae. 
27 The full length skeleton of Henri Jacques, who was sen- 
tenced to d'-ath in Paris for murdering bis wife and three children. 
In a fit of jealousy he cut their throats. He died in prison three 
days previous to his execution, thus escaping the guillotine. He 
confessed on his death-bed, and also stated he had, when quite a 
child, pushed a playmate into the river and held his head under wa- 
ter till he was drowned. He could assign no cause for his murder- 
ous propensity; but an inspection of his phrenological development 
will show the great preponderance of his animal passions. 
28 The skeleton of Mr. Alfred Shooney, aged 32, who resided at 
St. Ives, Cornwall, England. He was only 4 feet high, and diedin the 
Union of that town. 
29 Magnificent skeleton of a six months' child. 
30 Beautiful model of a well developed nine months' child. All 
its proportions are perfect and symmetrically moulded. 
31 Foetus, three >months, with umbilical cord. A wonderful 
freak of Nature. 
32 Young Crocodile from the banks of the Nile. Presented to 
the proprietors by Dr. Livingston, the great African traveler.

42 ' Showing the fifth month of pregnancy. 
43 Showing the sixth month of pregnancy. 
44 Showing the seventh month of pregnancy. 
45 Showing the eighth month of pregnancy. 46 Showing the ninth month of pregnancy. These beautiful 
models, nine in number, illustrate the different changes and positions 
(naturally) the child undergoes in the womb, from the first to the 
ninth month of ultro-gestation, or pregnancy. A careful inspection 
of these cannot fail to bring to remembrance the words, We are 
fearfully and wonderfully made." The duration of pregnancy varies. 
Generally it lasts nine calendar months, or forty weeks, or 280 days, 
or the tenth menstrual period. 
47 Magnificent dissection of the arm and hand. < 
48 One drop of male Semen, or Seed of Nature, which is mag- 
nified 500 times. In cases of impotency this does not exist in the 
system, and in order that conception should take place it is neces- 
sary that one of those spermatozse should attach itself to the ovum 
or egg, in the female ovary. 
49 Fine dissection of the leg. 
50 Anatomical head and bust, very fine. 
51 Fine dissection of the leg.

for the murder of his wife and mother-in-law. 
64 Opthalmia, or disease of the eye, taken from a patient who 
was under treatment of the proprietors. 
65 Hydrocele, or water in the head. 
66 Case of scarlatina, or scarlet fever. 
67 Variola, or small pox, a contagious disease divided into two 
species, the distinct and confluent. 
68 Scrofula, or king's evil, generally hereditary, and produced 
from the dissipation or immorality ot the parents. 
69 Another case of the above, in a milder form. 8 
70 Head of the celebrated Madam Le Frusch, who lived in 
Dieppe, to the great age of 140, and two days previous to her death 
was in possession of all her faculties. 
71 to 73 Twins and triplets-two in the membrane, and one 
laid bare to show its formation. 
74 to 75 Three and five months' foetus.

high, and measured 175 inches around the chest; with the skin re- 
moved to show the sense of touch. 
80 Magnificent dissection of the arm, wonderful for its splendid 
proportions. 
81 Case of purpura hemorrhtegica, or bleeding scurvy. This 
disease commences with debility, inaptitude for bodily or mental ex- 
ertion, pains in the limbs, giddiness, more or less followed by an 
eruption of small round patches of a dark red color, occasionally 
filled with blood ; gums livid, swollen, and bleeding ; in some cases 
it will extend over the entire body. 
82 This case represents the use of the speculum uteri, by look- 
ing up which you can perceive cancer of the neck of the womb. 
83 This model (from nature) represents cancer of the breast. 
The precautions for an operation are-Is the constitution unimpair- 
ed? Does the tumor' remain movable under the parts disea ed, and 
are the glands in the armpit not much affected? 
84 Cancer of the breast, in a different form. 
85 Wen, or bronchacele goitre. This disease is endemic in cer- 
tain localities, such as Derbyshire, Switzerland, and high mountain- 
ous districts, produced by the use of the water. 
86 to 88 Twins, triplets, and malformation of the uterus. 
89 to 91 Affections of the ear, produced by an impure state of 
the blood. 
92 Showing the virginity, or virgin state of the female before 
copulation. 
93 Showing the internal parts of the female after copulation. 
94 and 95 These models should be well looked into by visitors, 
as they have been pronounced in England, France and Italy, to be 
beautifully correct. They are the Aspinall Children, brothers. Their 
father, Mr. Aspinall, was clerk to the London and North-Western 
Railway Company. He starved them to death, and was executed in 
July, 1856. Child No. 95 shows the effects of starvation on the in- 
testines, and also the anatomy of the arm. 
96 Skull of Robert Burns, the much admired Scotch bard. 
97 Handsome dissection of the hand, 9 
98 to 102 Ovums, from 21 days to three months. 
103 Most perfect natural dissection of the heart, liver, gall 
bladder and stomach of the lamb, 
104 Dissection of the trunk and thighs. 
105 The celebrated French general, Le Brune, who, for a poli- 
tical offence, was skinned. He lived in the greatest torture for some- 
time afterwards. 
106 Splendid dissection of the head, showing the brains, the 
trachea oi' windpipe, the nerves and arteries. This has been highly 
and justly appreciated as a great work of art. 
107 to 108 Tongue, uvula and thorax, showing ulceration in 
the latter. 
109 to 111 Foetus of three, six, and nine months. 
112 Womb, containing a three months' foetus. 
113 A natural specimen of the head, with the teeth preserved, 
also the tongue and eye, showing the internal structure. The nerves 
are injected, to trace their source. 
114 Tongue magnified, with excoriations at its stump. 
115 Child's head compressed, showing that the pelvis of the 
mother was small in proportion to the size of the head. 
116 Splendid figure, showing the muscles of the body. 
117 to 118 Twins and triplets, in uterus. 
119 The Caesarian operation, or hysterotomy. This figure re- 
presents a female undergoing this formidable and dangerous opera- 
tion. It is of very ancient date, having been performed by the 
Greeks, but it is supposed that they only employed it to save the 
child after the death of the mother. This operation is in fact the 
dernier resort of midwifery. Cmso Fabius was thus born or extract- 
ed ; also Julius Caesar, though it is wrong to say he was called Caesar 
on this account, because he inherited his name from his father. 
Among the ancients, persons thus born were considered sacred to 
Apollo. 
120 The fearful effects of tight lacing. Husbands will see in 
this, the evil influences of the once fashionable habit, as in the case 
before us the mother was pregnant, and from the extreme pressure 
on the lungs, heart, &c., she dropped down dead, in a fit of apoplexy. 
121 Much admired dissection of the leg and foot. 
122 Much admired dissection of the arm. 
123 The foot of a Chinese Mandarin, exhibiting extraordinary 
deformity. 
124 Model representing the natural position of the child in 
utero. The arms are folded on the chest, the knees drawn up over 
the abdomen, and the head bent on the chest. 
125 Case of ovarium tumor, lately in the possession of the 
College of Surgeons, England, and presented to the proprietors. 10 
126 Enlargement of the liver of a captain in the navy, who, 
two days before his death, drank the enormous quantity of three- 
quarters of a gallon of Brandy. These are natural. 
127 This model represents a case in which the face is in the 
hollow of the sacrum ; and, from the size of the child's head, or 
smallness of the mother's parts, the surgeon is obliged to use the 
forceps. This operation is not so dangerous as it would appear 
by the model, although in some instances serious consequences 
ensue. 
128 Model of the brain. The brain is divided into three por- 
tions, viz., the cerebrum, cerebellum, and medulla oblongata. The 
cerebrum is the largest of the three divisions, is of an oval form, and 
divided into two equal parts, called hemispheres, by a fissure that 
extends along the median line, upon its upper surface, and contains 
the falx cerebri and the arteries of the corpus collossum. At the 
base of the brain the cerebrum is also divided at each extremity by 
t he median fissure ; but in the centre both hemispheres are united 
upon its under surface. 
129 Baek view of brain. 
130 Side view of brain. 
131 Front view of brain. 
132 A most extraordinary freak of nature, a lamb preserved, 
found in a sheep after it had been slaughtered. 
133 Superb small anatomical model, showing the beautiful and 
healthy development of the muscles. We learn the healthy struc- 
tures of the body by dissection, and the healthy conditions of its 
functions by close observation. 
134 Much admired section of the cranium, showing nerves, 
arteries, &c. 
135 to 192 A magnificent, life-sized anatomical figure. This 
model is well worthy of inspection, having elicited the highest enco- 
miums from artists and the public in general. It shows 57 muscles 
of the human frame. 
193 Beautiful dissection of the intestines of the female. 
194 Perfect representation of the male. 
195 The tree of life, the only copy in the world, pronounced to 
be the most elaborate specimen ever beheld. 
196 Ancient and wonderful specimen of skeletons; copied 
from a stone found in Palestine, Holy Land. 
197 Perfect representation of a beautiful woman, which must 
be admired by the opposite sex.

sinews. Front view. 11 
201 Male figure, with external skin removed, showing the 
arteries, &c.

ways begged for her livelihood, and was a well known character in 
Liverpool. When she died, which was in May, 1855, to the surprise 
of all, she had accumulated $30,000.

dicious and improper treatment, neglect, &c. " The knowledge of 
disease is half its cure." 
542 Phymosis and bubo, the effects of a gonorrhea, improperly 
treated. 
" The wages of sin is death." 16 
543 The female organs of generation, in health, quite perfect. 
544 Model, showing a very extreme case of paraphymosis. 
545 A young man's genital organs, aged 21, a patient of Drs. 
Jordan & Beck, who confessed that he had practised the detestable 
habit of self-abuse for several years. The testices are laid open to 
show the right one destroyed. 
" With scalding tears misguided youth bewails 
His youthful passions as his vigor fails, 
And desperate thoughts oppress his frenzied brain, 
Freeze his young blood, and chill his weakened frame." 
546 Ulceration of the prepuce and glands, eating into the body 
of the penis, with syphilitic eruptions on the abdomen. This case 
came under our notice in European practice. 
547 Destruction of the scrotum in a man who died from its 
effects. 
548 This model from nature, excellently portrays the abomi- 
nable and disgusting effects of unqualified treatment. 
549 Aggravated case of gonorrhea, or clap. 
550 Elongation of the left testicle; the result of self-abuse and 
nightly emissions. Drs. Jordan & Beck think it only just to them- 
selves to say that they succeeded in completely curing this man. 
551 Chancres and irritation of the scrotum. 
552 Gonorrhea and swelled testicle; the latter, in many instances, 
is produced from too much exercise ,and the use of injections, &c. 
553 Gonorrhea or clap in the female. 
554 Chancres on the uvula of the female. 
555 Venereal warts on the penis. Large warts are best re- 
moved by ligature, or snipped of with scissors ; they may also be 
destroyed with nitrate of silver or caustic, potash, &c. This case 
was under the proprietors' treatment. 
556 Syphilis in its most marked form, completely destroying 
the nose (taken after death). The lower part of the body, in this 
case, was one mass of sloughing ulcers. 
557 Venereal affection in the female negro. 
558 Venereal affection in the female negro. 
559 Virginity of the negro female. 
560 Syphilitic eruptions on a Spanish captain, who had been 
twelve months on his voyage without proper medical treatment. 
561 Hermaphrodite. This person was a Russian, and used to 
be the door-keeper to our establishment in London. 
562 Syphilitic ulcers and eruptions taken from a young woman 
30 years of age, who had foolishly strayed from the paths of virtue, 
while cook to a gentleman's family in England; she was perfectly 
restored by Drs. Jordan & Beck's method of treatment. 17 
563 The genital organs of an unfortunate victim of self-abuse, 
It will be seen that the testicles are small and wasted, being no lar- 
ger than a child's. 
564 Gangrene of the penis. Gangrene is always to be consider- 
ed the worst termination of inflammation. The circumstances, to 
give a favorable prognosis, would be a strong constitution, with 
youth, the system not much .affected, small irritation, strong pulse, 
the diseased parts being disposed to separate from the sound, indi- 
cated by an elevated white mark surrounding them. 
"We think our fathers fools, so wise we grow, 
Our wiser sons, no donbt, will think us so."

and neglect.

567 Ulceration of the tongue, the consequence of improper and 
pernicious use of mercury. 
568 Syphilis in a most malignant form, completely destroying 
the eyes, and eating through portions of the face. 
569 Elongated testicles, from masturbation; to use the patient's 
own language, they felt ropy and cordy. 
570 Secondary symptoms/syphilis) in a mulatto girl, who died 
from its effects, after her arrival at Liverpool from the West Indies. 
571 Primary symptoms of self-abuse. 
572 Chancres on the thighs of the female. 
573 Chancres near the arms of the female. 
574 Chancres on the glans penis. 
575 Chancres and gonorrhea. 
576 Head of a young man aged 21, who died from consumption, 
brought on by that body and soul consuming habit, self-abuse. It 
is admitted by the highest authority, that this vice has killed more 
of its victims than any other, even of a venereal nature. 
577 Gonorrhea in the female. 
57 § Model, showing the sexual parts, intended to show the ruin- 
ous and suicidal nature of self-pollution. It is hoped these models 
will serve as a beacon to some, and a warning of the fearful danger 
of the treacherous practice. 
579 The ruinous effects of mercury injudiciously used. This 
case was brought to our notice in its present state. 
The heart, which consists of four cavities, two auricles, 
and two ventricles. The auricles are separated from each other by 
a partition called septum auriculorum, and the ventricles by the 
septum ventriculorum. The right auricle is situated between the two 
vence cavoe, the blood of which it receives and transmits to the right 
ventricle, from thence to the lungs. 18 
581 The trachea, or windpipe. This is a hollow cylindrical 
tube, extending from the crycoid cartilage of the larynx to a level 
with the third dorsal vertebrae. It consists of from eighteen to 
twenty fibro-cartilaginous rings, contorted behind, and connected to 
each other by elastic bands. Opposite the third dorsal vertebrae it 
divides into the right and left'bronchial tubes. The right bronchus 
is larger than the left, and runs transversally into the root of the 
lung, and divides into three branches. On the left side the bron- 
chos passes through the arch of the aorto to the root of the left lung, 
and divides into two branches. 19
