Страница 63 - It consists in the occurrence of a series of inspirations, increasing to a maximum, and then declining in force and length, until a state of apparent apnoea is established. In this condition the patient may remain for such a length of time as to make his attendants believe that he is dead, when a low inspiration, followed by one more decided, marks the commencement of a new ascending and then descending series of inspirations.
Страница 160 - Once the temperature, when taken, was 104°, yet she was not at all "feverish;" it was just excitement, and too evanescent to produce any distinct consequences. Further, listen to what Austin Flint says: "The physician is liable to be misled by placing too much reliance on the laws of temperature. They are not infrequently interfered with by complications and accidental events.

Suffocative dyspnoea, lividity,...

Страница 138 - ... false albuminuria, in which some other albuminous body, but not serum-albumin, is present. In true albuminuria there is always some change either in the circulation through the kidney, or in the structure of the kidney itself. In false albuminuria the albuminous body passes out through the kidney, "without there being any alteration either in circulation or structure. The chief albuminous bodies occurring in false albuminuria are haemoglobin, eggalbumin, and Bence-Jones's albumin.
Страница 137 - Of this nature was the case of a student mentioned by Sir Robert Christison, in whom a large amount of cheese or pastry produced albumen in the urine. Apart, however, from errors of diet, as Dr. Parkes has stated, temporary albuminuria will occur in persons with very slight disease. Beneke, when suffering from dyspepsia, noticed albumen in his own urine four times in four weeks. Clemens, Rayer, Martin Solon, and many other physicians, have made similar observations.
