Страница 41 - As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain, it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place.
Страница 15 - It is necessary, first, that the ice be kept in contact with each region of the spine, the upper portion of the ice being prevented from falling down as the melting proceeds ; secondly, that the application do not extend far on each side of the spinal cord, otherwise the patient will become cold ; thirdly, that, having regard to the comfort of the patient, the mouth of the bag containing the ice be so effectually closed as to prevent the water from escaping as the ice melts...
Страница 1 - I consider that the knowledge of the effects of the paralysis, and the irritation of the sympathetic nerve, opens a new and most important field in physiology, in pathology, and in therapeutics...

This method of securing the bag is, however, not essential : it may be sustained, in the case of men, by buttoning the waistcoat and coat tightly over it ; and, in the case of women, by tightening their dress over it in like manner. Of course, when stays arc worn, it is necessary...

Страница 53 - I hold that the proximate cause of sea-sickness consists in au undue amount of blood in the nervous centres along the back, and especially in those segments of the spinal cord related to the stomach and the muscles concerned in vomiting.
Страница 8 - The oxidizing arterial blood has a high affinity for those portions that have become wasted : it effects their disintegration, and then its affinity is lost. The various tissues require repair ; they have an affinity for one or other of the constituents of the blood ; they take the material they need and their affinity is satisfied ; or secreting cells originate a drain upon the blood, and the moment they have removed from it the substance to be secreted, they have no longer any relation with it....
Страница 53 - If by one or several cases the amount of blood circulating in the spinal cord be increased considerably beyond the normal amount, all the nerves emanating from it partake of the increased activity of the Cord itself, and convey from the centre to the periphery of the nervous system an abnormally large number of exciting impulses. Those parts of the body which are subject to the will — the purely voluntary muscles — resist these impulses most easily ; and only in extreme cases, therefore, are...
