Raharmachis and Amonra are national gods, and have left much evidence ...

A Great Musician is a paradox, a miracle, a multiple-sided man—stern, firm, selfish, proud and unyielding; yet sensuous as the ether, tender as a woman, innocent as a child, and as plastic as potters' clay.

The sensibilities of the womb and the entire reproductive system are teased for no purpose.

Our conviction respecting them is based upon a great number of observations. Furthermore, the normal relations existing between the married couple undergo ...

This operation is watched by the mother with the greatest anxiety, for on this coincidence of measure depends the child's weal or woe.

Starch is again a typical carbohydrate, and its formula is C{6}H{10}O{5}, or some multiple of this. One sees at a glance that these substances agree in having twice as many hydrogen atoms as there are oxygen atoms, the same proportion that the hydrogen bears to the oxygen in the compound water,—a characteristic which makes it easy to ...
