The acidity of the urine was found to ebb and flow ; it was greatest a short time before food was taken, and was least about three hours after breakfast, and five or six hours after dinner, when it reached the minimum point ; after which it again increased, and attained the maximum point previous to food being again taken....

The local application of galvanism to the uterus was less effective ;...

Pagina 402 - The mercurial, then, by some inscrutable chemical power, of whose nature we know nothing, is able to decompose the blood; by some destructive agency, it deprives it of one-third of its fibrine, one-seventh of its albumen, one-sixth or more of its globules, and at the same time loads it with a fœtid matter, the product of decomposition.
Pagina 428 - ... abortion, owing to an imperfect separation and expulsion of the ovum. In this case every available means had been tried to stimulate the uterus and control haemorrhage without success, and the patient's condition had at length become highly critical. In this emergency a sustained current of electricity was directed longitudinally through the uterus from the upper portion of the spinal cord, and under its influence the cervix uteri became relaxed and expanded after the first application, and uterine...

The ordinary food of a well-to-do Icelandic family consists of dried fish, butter, sour whey kept till fermentation takes place, curds and skier — a very peculiar cheese unlike any I ever tasted, — a little mutton, and rye bread. As might be expected, this meagre fare is not very conducive to health ; scurvy, leprosy, elephantiasis, and all cutaneous disorders, are very common, while the practice of mothers to leave off nursing their children at the end of...
Pagina 252 - This incision included the skin alone, without implicating the tendons or their sheaths. The flap thus formed was dissected up, and the peronei tendons were detached from the groove behind the fibula and cut through, as were the external lateral ligaments close to the fibula with a pair of bone-nippers.
