Learn some of the "Antidotes," and at least two of the following series. Do _not_ learn the extracts from Quain's Anatomy unless you understand what is meant, or are a medical student.

Make your own correlations between each. EXTRACTS FROM QUAIN'S ANATOMY. TO BE STUDIED BY NONE BUT MEDICAL STUDENTS. "The Branches of the External Carotid Artery are eight in number, _viz._, three directed forwards, the superior thyroid, the lingual, and the facial; two directed backwards, the occipital and the posterior auricular; and three extending upwards, the ascending pharyngeal branch, together with the temporal and internal maxillary, the two terminal branches into which the artery divides." Dissect, or study a model or diagram of these branch arteries, and then the facts are easily learned by means of Correlations:-- CAROTID ... rotten ... ruinous ...
