The word, which in the 4th century was used for the heavy transport vehicles of the cursus publicus, and also for the animals by which they were drawn, came to mean generally "compulsory service."

Whether this reenforcement is a complete preventive of decrepitude in species, or only a palliative, is more than we can determine. If the latter, then existing species and their derivatives must perish in time, and the earth may be growing poorer in species, as M. Naudin supposes, through mere senility.

The adjectives and derivatives based on woman's distinctions are alien and derogatory when applied to human affairs; "effeminate" too female, connotes contempt, but has no masculine analogue; whereas "emasculate" not enough male, is a term of reproach, and has no feminine analogue. "Virile" manly, we oppose to "puerile" childish, and the very word "virtue" is derived from "vir" a man.

Germany had monopolised the production of the important synthetic drugs, including the derivatives of salicylic acid, of which aspirin had developed wide use in Allied countries. After every household had learnt the value of German produced aspirin, its supply was cut off at the outbreak of war. The same disadvantages applied in the field of anaesthetics.

Does not the mind incite the ear to hear, and direct the eye to see, move the tongue and the lips to speak, impel the hands and fingers to do whatever it pleases, and the feet to walk whither it will?

By life in first principles is meant will and understanding. These two are what are in their first principles in the brains, and in their derivatives in the body. It is evident that the first principles or firsts of life are in the brains: From the feeling itself; since man perceives, when he exerts his mind and thinks, that he thinks in the brain.

The sentences are generally short and always clear, but never monotonous. The preference for Anglo-Saxon words and the exclusion of Latin derivatives are extremely marked, and we find here in rare perfection that highest attribute of style, the union of simplicity, picturesqueness, and force. In the first Bunker Hill oration Mr.

Both this and its obvious derivatives, the Giant's Grave, the allée couverte, and others, are known to have been tombs, while other types of structure, such as the Maltese temple, the menhir, and the cromlech, almost certainly had a religious purpose.

If he gave up his ownership, whether according to Rav or according to Shemuel, it is a pit, and if he retained his ownership, if according to Shemuel, who holds that all are derived from 'his pit, then it is 'a pit, and if according to Rav, who holds that all are derived from 'his ox, then it is 'an ox, therefore the derivatives of 'an ox' are the same as 'an ox' itself."

"An instrument of thy body is also thy little sagacity, my brother, which thou callest 'spirit," says Zarathustra. From beginning to end it is a warning to those who would think too lightly of the instincts and unduly exalt the intellect and its derivatives: Reason and Understanding.
