| 43 | (Medical):The following description of threshing is from A.G. Street's 'Farmer's Glory': 'It was hard work. There was a balanced team of men to run the outfit. Two men pitched the sheaves onto the top of the thresher, where one man cut the strings and another fed the grain steadily and smoothly into the machine. Two men made the straw rick, one took off the chaff, and one the grain, whilst Tom the driver was in charge of the machinery. Any one slackening speed could slow up the whole business. No extra money was paid to the regular farming men for threshing, but beer was allowed on threshing days, one quart per man.' The arrival of Burrell's stationary engine and the threshing machine in the mid-19th century had put paid to winter threshing with flails in a barn. The machine could complete 8 men's work for 6 months in 10 days, and was the cause of much grumbling about unemployment when it first appeared on the market. | Clements, James (I1524)

| 44 | (Medical):The mesentery is an organ that attaches the intestines to the posterior abdominal wall in humans and is formed by the double fold of peritoneum. It helps in storing fat and allowing blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves to supply the intestines, among other functions. The mesenteric arteries take blood from the aorta and distribute it to a large portion of the gastrointestinal tract. Mesenteric disease is where the blood supply is blocked to the intestines. | Carroll, John Thomas (I2965)

| 46 | (Medical):This is a disease of one of the larger joints It is mostly of a slow or chronic character and occurs chiefly in the knee joint although the elbow joint hip joint and even the ankle joint are not unfrequently the seat of it. In the present observations I refer principally to the disease of the knee joint. The first symptom is often a deep seated dull heavy pain in the joints which is not constant nor severe but is usually much increased in using the joint It is generally seated in one particular part of the joint. In white swelling of the knee joint the patient keeps the knee bent and from the pain occasioned by extension gets into the habit of only touching the ground with his toes. At first there is no external swelling or inflammation but in the progress of the disease the knee swells and gradually increases in size but the skin is not at all altered in colour and the swelling is generally so firm as to yield very little to pressure In the slowness or rapidity of its progress and in the severity of the pain the disease differs much in different cases. Sometimes the pain is very acute and tbe swelling gradually attains to a very large size In the end collections of matter often form about the joint and at length burst and discharge a thin curdlike matter. But it is not unusual for the disease to continue for several years without the formation of any abscess particularly if the patient has been under correct treatment. When the disease goes on to a fatal termination hectic fever arises and destroys the patient unless the limb be removed. This disease mostly occurs in scrophulous subjects and rarely after five and twenty or thirty years of age. It is however not unfrequently met with in young persons whose constitutions are delicate but who have never given any decided proof of a scrophulous habit. When there is a constitutional disposition to the disease a blow fall or any other kind of mechanical injury may excite it into action. With such a predisposition it is also not unfrequently induced by long continued disorder of the digestive organs or whatever greatly deranges the general health.
