Страница 152 - ... irritability of the heart, and a consequent attack of cardiac inflammation. The opium which in" one person may prove of the greatest service in promoting free perspiration, and in allaying the general irritability of the system, may in another check the biliary and other secretions, and thus prevent the elimination of the rheumatic poison. The continued use of calomel, and the constant purging, which may be beneficial to one patient by removing large quantities of unhealthy secretions, may unnecessarily...
Страница 425 - A lady who was watching her little child at play, saw a heavy window-sash fall upon its hand, cutting off three of the fingers ; and she was so much overcome by fright and distress as to be unable to render it any assistance. A surgeon was speedily obtained, who, having dressed the wounds, turned himself to the mother, whom he found seated, moaning and complaining of pain in her hand. On examination, three fingers corresponding to those injured in the child, were discovered to be swollen and inflamed,...
Страница 302 - It arrives more slowly at its development, and afterwards remains for a long time as a very noticeable tumour, instead of undergoing a process of rapid atrophy. 2. It retains a globular or only slightly flattened form, and gives to the touch a sense of considerable resistance and solidity. 3. Internally, it has an appearance of advanced organization, which is wanting in the corpus luteum of menstruation. 4. Its convoluted wall, particularly, attains a greater development, this portion measuring sometimes...
Страница 57 - The following is the order of phenomena as interpreted by Reinhardt and Frerichs: an engorgement of the renal blood-vessels, an effusion of inflammatory products, a more or less complete and general metamorphosis of these products into fat, and finally atrophy and wasting of the kidney. The small contracted granular kidneys have once been fat: the large, pale, fat kidneys are in continual progress towards atrophy and contraction.
Страница 175 - Those which occasion an increased production of decomposing matter in the system itself; — and (3) Those which obstruct the elimination of the decomposing matter normally or excessively generated within the system, or abnormally introduced into it from without.
Страница 533 - That the blood corpuscles of vertebrate animals are originally formed in the lymphatic glandular system, and that the g'vat majority of them, on joining the circulation, become coloured in a manner that is as yet unexplained. Hence the blood may be considered as a secretion from the lymphatic glands, although in the higher animals that secretion only becomes fully formed after it has received colour by exposure to oxygen in the lungs.
Страница 308 - Amenorrhoea, hysteria, dysmenorrhrea, menorrhagia, leucorrhoea, and various nervous affections, local and constitutional, are those from which females chiefly suffer before the age of twenty-five or thirty. An examination of the physical condition of the uterus in unmarried women, either with or without the speculum, I have always refused to make, even when requested to do so, unless pain, severe and almost constant, in the region of the uterus existed, leucorrhoea, or hemorrhage, which did not yield...
Страница 172 - Martigny, that the fluid exhaled from the lungs is by no means pure water, hut contains as much as three parts in 1000 of organic matter. If this fluid be kept in a closed vessel, and be exposed to an elevated temperature, a very evident putrid odour is exhaled from it; and from the recent experiments of Mr. RA Smith,* it appears that its putrescence depends on the decomposition of an albuminoid substance. There is every reason to believe that the fluid exhaled from the skin is charged with a very...
Страница 323 - There is another instance," says Dr. Alderson, "in which the presence of lead, under apparently similar circumstances, may be found to vary. Water running in leaden pipes, or pumped from a leaden pump, may show no trace of the metal; but after a delay of twelve hours or more in the pipes, or in the body of the pump, which very often happens, the water will be found to contain it in smaller or greater degree. As an illustration of this, I quote from Dr. Clark's published evidence in the report of...
Страница 81 - ... almost absolute safety to life and limb ; 2. That the time expended in cure is, on an average, not greater than in the treatment by ligature ; 3. That failure by compression does not compromise subsequent recourse to deligation; 4. And that consequently, compression, when skilfully employed, being equally certain, far more safe, and not more tedious than the ligature, should, in the great majority of cases, be preferred. The only disadvantage of compression is the care and trouble necessary on...
