Pagina 83 - Crown 8vo. cloth, 3s. 6d. LECTURES ON WINTER COUGH (CATARRH, BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA, ASTHMA); with an Appendix on some Principles of Diet in Disease. Post 8vo.
Pagina 2 - Thus the blood becomes deficiently and defectively supplied with fat-elements from the food ; is unable to afford those required for direct combustion; does not replace those taken up during interstitial nutrition ; but, on the contrary, takes up more to compensate the deficient supply from the food. This having gone on up to a certain point, the, fat-elements of the albuminoid tissues are seized upon, and these tissues are minutely disintegrated in the process. This disintegrated albuminoid tissue...
Pagina 10 - In the muscle of an active man the fat amounts to г'г per cent. A man in ordinary health and activity wastes daily 1750 grains of dry flesh, or 7000 grains of fresh muscle, which would contain 1 50 grains of fat. The total amount of heat which this quantity could yield by its combustion is 87 kil. units, while the flesh in which it resides would give by its transformation about 506 kil. units. We need not, therefore, look for the source of potential energy in a minor when we have a major...
Pagina 43 - I am referring to cases in which the lungs are already damaged, or in which the constitutional disease has declared itself in sufficient force to render tuberculization imminent. ' If the symptoms are only what...
Pagina 80 - ... lost before the treatment was begun ? But assuming the possibility of two ounces per day of oil for nutrition, and another two ounces for arrears, being taken and utilized, even then the whole thing may be unstable and may break down, from the fact that we are supplying oil and not solid fat—a body rich in olein and poor in stearin and margarin, in the place of bodies rich in stearin and margarin and poor in olein, such as the fats taken in normal food. " The practical conclusion from these...
Pagina 4 - ... taken up by the lymphatics and deposited in the lymphatic glands, or carried into the blood and deposited from it, constituting a secondary deposit. In the advance of these diseased processes, any part of the body in which nutrition is going on in albuminoid tissue may become both the source and seat of tubercle; and any part, whether albuminoid or not, if supplied with lymphatics or blood-vessels, may become the seat of tubercle. Pure tuberculosis commences when fats, properly acted upon by...
Pagina 11 - The chemical use of fut deposited within the muscle may be to protect it from the assaults of oxygen during its repose. A muscle, even at rest, gives out carbonic acid, which is no doubt partly due to the oxidation of its effete particles, but also to the oxidation of fat. The conception that the latter is the source of muscular action can only have arisen from the false analogy of the animal body to a steam-engine. But incessant transformation of the acting parts of the animal machine forms the...
Pagina 7 - ... 1. By any cause which for a prolonged period greatly reduces its activity, by diminishing the normal demand for carbonaceous matters in the blood. 2. By the action on the nervous system of powerful or prolonged depressing influences. 3. By inflammatory and other abnormal conditions of neighbouring parts. 4. By prolonged loss of absorbing power in the small intestine by which the function of the pancreas is rendered useless.
