Pagina 523 - it may be shown that in the United States and Great Britain alone ovariotomy has within the last thirty years directly contributed more than thirty thousand years of active life to woman; all of which would have been lost had ovariotomy never been performed.

Pagina 436 - For nearly three years I have recorded the hearing power as a fraction, the numerator of which is the distance at which the particular sound is heard, the denominator the distance at which it should be heard by an ear of good average hearing power.
Pagina 534 - There is no proof that tapping an ovarian cyst is more dangerous during pregnancy than at any other time ; and if there be a large single cyst, tapping will afford immediate relief to distension at a very slight risk to the mother, and lead to the natural termination of pregnancy in the birth of a living child, if proper...
Pagina 144 - Four grammes, or a drachm, of this substance, dissolved in water, and introduced into the stomach, produce in the course of from fifteen to twenty minutes a deep sleep, accompanied by anaesthesia of the head. Whilst the eyeball has lost its irritability, and the nervus trigemimis shows no reaction whatever on being irritated, the tone of the muscles remains unaltered.

Pagina 262 - The only forms of insanity, which, in my opinion, should absolve from responsibility, and therefore from any other punishment except sequestration, are such a degree of idiocy, dementia, or mania, as prevents the individual from understanding the consequences of his act, and the existence of a delusion in regard to a matter of fact which, if true, would justify his act.
Pagina 145 - Hichlor-allylene, inhaled by the lungs, produces the same effect on animals as croton-chloral. We thus see these bichlorated substances acting on the brain, .spinal cord, and medulla oblongata, but not on the heart, which explains the fact that both respiration and circulation remain unaltered in man by a medicinal dose. It is a highly interesting fact, however, that, under favorable conditions, we still are able to produce in animals the effects of the first product of decomposition, of croton-chloral...
Pagina 144 - Bichiorated substances act differently, as is proved by bichloride of ethylene. Even if the circulation of the blood in an animal have been stopped by this latter agent for one minute, life may be restored by artificial respiration, which is impossible whenever trichlorated substances have produced this effect, in which case the muscles of the heart remain paralysed.
