Страница 342 - But the physician, and perhaps the politique, hath no particular acts demonstrative of his ability, but is judged most by the event ; which is ever but as it is taken : for who can tell, if a patient die or recover, or if a state be preserved or ruined, whether it be art or accident ? And therefore many times the impostor is prized, and the man of virtue taxed. Nay, we see [the] weakness and credulity of men is such, as they will often prefer a mountebank or witch before a learned physician.
Страница 50 - A few days after our first visit we were summoned to observe a remarkable change in her symptoms; the attendants said she was dying, or in a trance; she was lying in bed motionless, and apparently senseless; it had been said that the pupils were dilated and motionless, and some apprehensions of effusion on the brain had been entertained, but on...
Страница 26 - Bring me to the test, And I the matter will re-word, which madness Would gambol from. Mother, for love of grace, Lay not that flattering unction to your soul, That not your trespass, but my madness speaks.
Страница 502 - If, through an erroneous notion as to the nature of this affection, nourishment and cordials be not given ; or if the diarrhoea continue, either spontaneously or from the administration of medicine, the exhaustion which ensues is apt to lead to a very different train of symptoms. The countenance becomes pale, and the cheeks cool or cold ; the eyelids are half closed, the eyes are...
Страница 51 - ... in women is a set of organs which are in action only during half the natural life of the individual ; and even during this half they are in action only at intervals. During these intervals of action they diffuse an unusual excitement throughout the nervous system — witness the hysteric affections of puberty, the nervous susceptibility which occurs during every menstrual period, the nervous affections of breeding, and the nervous susceptibility of lying-in women. I do not mean...
Страница 207 - SW of her second child; for many hours before the accession of labour she was flushed, and had a very full quick pulse. Abstinence from meat, wine, and warm drinks, a cool room, and a saline purgative, diminished, but did not remove, this state of the circulation, which continued, in a considerable degree, when the child was born : it was expelled very gradually, and after the removal of the placenta the uterus felt in the hypogastrium contracted in the ordinary degree; nevertheless, about twenty...
Страница 50 - Thus she continued sitting, while we were asking questions and conversing, so that many minutes must have passed. " One arm was now raised, then the other, and where they were left, there they remained ; it was now a curious sight to see her, sitting up in bed, her eyes open, staring lifelessly, her arms outstretched, yet without any visible...
Страница 145 - There are about fifty medical practitioners in Constantinople, principally Franks, from Italy and Malta, and a few Ionian Greeks, Armenians, and Copts; of this number there are, perhaps, five regularly educated physicians, and two of these are English gentlemen, highly respected, both by the Turks and Franks. Every medico has his allotted quarter; he beats this ground daily in pursuit of patients, and visits all the coffeehouses in the district with a Greek drogueman, as interpreter, at his heels,...
Страница 90 - that if a physician, whether licensed or not, gives a person a potion, without any intent of doing him any bodily hurt, but with intent to cure, or prevent a disease, and, contrary to the expectation of the physician, it kills him, he is not guilty of murder or manslaughter.
Страница 277 - ... in the constitution to drive out the eruptions on the surface. The bubo recedes, or the carbuncle diminishes, or neither appear at all externally; but they have seized on the internal vital organs, and the immediate cause of death has been shown by dissection to have been carbuncles on the liver, lungs, spleen, or mesenteric glands: in short, it appears that the whole glandular system is the seat of the disease. I have seen all the different species of plague enumerated by Russel and the French...
