With a sense of familiarity, Kraft continued to scroll down. What follows is some content suitable for being classified into the fantasy and fantasy areas.
White liquid is considered in the book to be a viscous and cold liquid that exists in the patient's brain and spinal cord. It has calming and stable qualities and is the basis for the birth of thinking. Therefore, once the white liquid is violated, people will show symptoms
Obvious changes in mental state.
It can range from lethargy and lethargy to talking nonsense and being unable to control one's activities. When the white fluid is exhausted, it will enter the final stage, and the person will become comatose and unable to maintain even a minimum level of consciousness.
Considering that white liquid is a cold liquid, the conclusion is that high heat will damage the white liquid and continuously consume it. To regain the patient's consciousness, various methods must be used to cool down and promote the production of white liquid.
At the same time, because it was found that the white fluid of some patients with high fever and unconsciousness would turn yellow and turbid, the author believed that high fever caused the white fluid to turn into yellow fluid, thereby reducing the amount of white fluid.
As for why it changed to yellow liquid, it is because yellow liquid is a warm, dry liquid. It is produced in the liver and stored in the gallbladder. It is the representative of neutral energy in the human body.
This liquid is considered to be related to digestion ability. Food is dissociated and absorbed in the warm yellow liquid, providing people with the energy necessary to survive.
In addition, the careful author observed a phenomenon. Some patients showed symptoms of rough and yellow skin and yellowish whites of the eyes. In traditional theory, this is caused by excessive yellow fluid in the body. However, such patients will suffer from malnutrition.
, symptoms of edema include anorexia, bloating, and diarrhea after eating greasy food. This is completely in conflict with the theory.
It seemed a little bit right, but not completely right. Kraft started scratching his head. He put the pen and paper next to him for a while, but he still didn't remember a word.
Remember it, it feels like a waste of paper; don’t remember it, it’s a bit uncomfortable.
It has to be said that although this ancient theory is full of flaws, it is actually quite easy to remember because of its simple correlation method. As long as no one uses this thing to treat him, he can enjoy it.
Finally, looking at black liquid, it is also something that Kraft cannot find a corresponding existence at all. It is a heavy liquid that plays the role of a suppressor in the body, opposite to various active attributes.
When there is too much black liquid, people will show signs of depression and depression. People who are born with a large proportion of black liquid are generally calm and restrained, and appear a little indifferent. Such people often do not live long.
After gradually losing their properties, all liquids transform into black liquid, just like everything will eventually die. If the black liquid reaches a certain limit, the balance will be completely destroyed, and the human body will irreversibly slide towards death, and all physiological processes will be destroyed.
All activities have been terminated.
This is also considered to be the mechanism of death, that is, everything moves quickly or slowly into the inert and unchanging side, until the part of the black liquid breaks through the critical point, bringing everything to an end.
Based on the different properties of these liquids, of course, we have reached a more classic link - the author corresponds the four liquids with the four basic elements based on the concept that humans are the core of the world.
Active red liquid corresponds to fire, that is, change and high heat.
White liquid corresponds to water, constantly running but following a fixed path.
The yellow liquid is consistent with the air flow and wind, and they are both neutral and balanced mild components.
The black liquid corresponds to the thick earth, where everything that moves will fall asleep and return to stillness from motion.
In this way, a system is built, and the remaining content is to talk about the derivation and demonstration between diseases and changes in the four liquids.
"Forget it, let's read the next one." Kraft closed the book and put it aside. He seemed to have found the source of the theoretical basis for bloodletting therapy. It was probably that the balance of body fluids was broken, so we passed it on different
Is there an opening in the place and some is released to adjust the balance? Then mixed with some ideas about letting go of stale blood and expelling harmful factors, it has become the most popular treatment method at present.
With a headache, Kraft took out the next book.
This is a book called "The Structure of the Human Body". Judging from the name, it may be similar to "Systematic Anatomy", but the church does not allow touching corpses, and the mainstream of society never approves the act of cutting open the body to observe the structure.
Any such behavior will be punished by being burned at the stake.
Therefore, the author of this book is either a conjecture, or he is a thorn in the side of the Inquisition, and the gangsters who rob the road are timid compared to him.
But again, in a place like Wendeng Port, it would be great if the church people could clean up the bird droppings in St. Simon's Square. Not to mention burning at the stake, not a single torch has been lit in the square for so many years. As long as the author is not on the street
Dissection, probably no one cares about that.
The opening chapter does not go straight to the point, but rather symbolically expresses that this book is based on the author’s own experience in medical practice after studying and comparing a large number of previous works, and uses it to save what the gods have given.
There is no disrespect to the body of the deceased.
As for what works he referred to and what medical experience gave him this understanding, the author said:
It's been so long that I've forgotten it.
Sure enough, when you turn to the first picture, you will know that any disclaimer has always been a lie. Although it is not as detailed as the anatomy diagram formed after the great development, this full-body diagram with half bones and half attached muscles still basically explains it completely.
It understands the movement system of the human body, and even carefully separates the abdominal muscles from the outside to the inside in the abdomen, and draws them into a layered look. The internal intercostal muscles and external intercostal muscles distributed between the ribs are even more textured.
distinct.
After flipping through the book rather haphazardly, Kraft discovered that this should be the first volume. It mainly talks about how bones and muscles constitute the human body's movement system. It describes each part with corresponding pictures, and analyzes the movements and movements made by people.
The relationship between muscle contractions.
The person who drew the original illustrations must have worked hard and should have watched the dissection at the scene. It may even be the author himself who was sketching while dissecting. There were special emphasis marks and additional notes on the attachment points of the muscles to prevent them from being transcribed.
The process was misunderstood by the transcriber.
In this copied manuscript of unknown edition in Kraft's hands, the author's original intention is still accurately expressed. Actions and corresponding muscle group movements are mapped one-to-one, so even beginners can understand movement disorders.
The crux of the matter.
The third book, of course, is the second volume of "The Structure of the Human Body", which tells the morphological distribution of internal organs and blood vessels.
The author implicitly hints that he has structurally confirmed part of the correctness of the Four Liquids theory in a fairly credible way. As for the method, he has once again omitted to mention it.
In short, he did admit that clear white fluid does exist in the brain and spinal cord, and also confirmed that yellow fluid comes from the liver, is stored in the gallbladder, and has a path to the intestines. However, the black fluid has not yet been discovered by him.
Discover.
With this foundation, the pioneer believed that the traditional theory was reasonable, and at least confirmed its reliability to a certain extent.
In addition, after analyzing blood vessels, he innovatively proposed a new idea, that is, red liquid can actually be divided into two types, two types flowing in different blood vessels.
One type has a tougher and thicker wall, while the other type has a weaker wall and a larger lumen, which translates to arteries and veins. But here his train of thought went off the rails again.
Because the blood vessels of the separate abdominal organs all converge into the liver, he believed that the liver may be the governing organ of the venous system, and the arteries belong to the heart, leading to the view that the two organs jointly control red fluid.
The last chapter of the book returns to black liquid. Since the above-mentioned things do exist and can be compared with the four-liquid theory, the author thinks that there may be something wrong with his work, so he did not add this last link.
It may also be that the theory of the Four Liquids has been circulating for too long, and has long been different from the original in repeated transcriptions, and the deviations have been continuously amplified, so that future generations cannot understand it. In the theory of the Four Liquids, too much yellow liquid can cause anorexia in patients, such a contradiction is also
More than one example shows that his guess is not unreasonable.
Black liquid may be a special existence among them. "Black" is only used in naming and does not actually refer to color. Or it may simply be static, the embodiment of the concept of inhibition, not a specific substance that exists, but he has not yet realized what it is.
What happened requires more in-depth research to find out the answer.
The two volumes of "Human Structure" ended abruptly, and a mark different from that of Wendenggang Medical College was left at the end. When the maker of the manuscript copied various works, he would definitely leave a mark out of respect for the author.
This mark indicates the author's identity.
It is not difficult for a careful learner to see that it is a fifth cervical vertebra that is showing a strange smile. In the conical hole that looks like a grinning mouth, there is a scrawled signature of the author, which is unknown whether it is authentic or not: Edward.
