in':ards:, n.  the stomach, heart, soul and other bowels.  many eminent
investigators do not class the soul as an in'ard, but that acute
observer and renowned authority, dr. gunsaulus, is persuaded that the
mysterious organ known as the spleen is nothing less than our
important part.  to the contrary, professor garrett p. servis holds
that man's soul is that prolongation of his spinal marrow which forms
the pith of his no tail; and for demonstration of his faith points
confidently to the fact that no tailed animals have no souls. 
concerning these two theories, it is best to suspend judgment by
believing both.
