The first is necessary for man’s individual bodily existence; the second is necessary for the continuation of his species. Man is accord- ingly furnished with organs fitted for these great functions of life. As the function of nutrition is necessaiy for the sustenance, and growth, and continual subsistence of the body, so it must commence when his individual existence commences, and continue constantly while his bodily existence continues ; and therefore the organs consti- tuting the apparatus necessary for this great function, are among the first formed portions of his system, and are complete at the time of his birth.* But the function of reproduction is not necessary to man’s individual existence, and * Tl|e teeth are not essential to the function of nutri- tion, especially in early childhood.
