5184. Those who belong to the Pancreas act in a more incisive way - employing so to speak a sawing action which also sounds like such an action. The actual sound they make is audible to spirits, but not to man unless while in the body he is in the spirit. Their region lies between that of the spleen and that of the liver, more to the left. Those in the province of the Spleen are almost directly overhead; but when they operate they come down into that organ.
