There are four temperaments. The lymphatic or phlegmatic, in which
the secreting glands are the most active portion of the system,
{55} produces both corporeal and mental languor, dullness, and
inactivity. The sanguine in which the arterial portion of the
system is most active, gives strong feelings and passions, and more
ardor, zeal, and activity, than of strength or power. The bilious,
in which the muscular portion predominates in activity, produces
strength, power, and endurance of body, with great force and energy
of mind and character. The nervous, in which the brain and nervous
system are most active, gives the highest degree of activity,
with clearness of perception and of thought, but less endurance.
Sharp and prominent organs denote activity; smooth and broad ones
intensity and strength.
