Inject warm water, and let it again run out by the divided
vessels. Drain its water off, and secure all the veins, the
hemorrhoidal especially.

Injection. Throw any colour into the pipe, which will pass
into the splenic, mesenteric, and internal hemorrhoidal vein,
and into the vena porta?.

Dissection. Remove all the soft parts ; the stomach, spleen,
and intestines ; cutting the vessels as long as possible, and diy
them in the best manner, either attached to the liver, or dis.
sect away the liver from the vena porta?, taking care to pre-
serve some of its ramifications.

Preservation. In a covered box.

HEART.

The heart is mostly injected out of the body, to shew its
common and proper vessels. For this purpose, choose a lean
heart. Cut through the thoracic viscera immediately at the
top of the thorax; divide the intercostal arteries by drawing
the knife down the pleura, over the ribs beyond their origin;
separate the vena cava inferior and aorta, in the abdomen, with
the cavas hepatica?; and remove the thoracic viscera, with
the portion of the diaphragm surrounding the vessels.

Preparation. Soak the blood and coagula out of the cavities
of the heart, and press the blood from the coronaries. Put a
pipe into the vena cava superior, and another into one of the
pulmonary veins. Then tie the lungs at their root, the vena
cava inferior, the arteria innominata, the left carotid and sub-
clavian ; and pass a ligature, with a slip-knot, round the sinus
of the aorta, and secure all other open vessels.

Injection. The common coloured injections, red and yellow,
only are wanted. Throw the former into the pulmonary vein,
