Pagina 261 - The wound it seem'd both sore and sad To every Christian eye ; And while they swore the dog was mad, They swore the man would die. But soon a wonder came to light, That show'd the rogues they lied, The man recover'd of the bite, The dog it was that died.
Pagina 38 - In the majority of the cases which I have observed, the disease has existed for many months ; they have all occurred in children under ten years, and in most the disease has been regarded and treated for piles. In some cases the discharge of blood from the bowel is constant, and its buttocks smeared with a bloody mucus.
Pagina 220 - ... given every quarter of an hour; there was, however, great difficulty in getting the child to swallow, each attempt to do so producing paroxysms of suffocation, which appeared to threaten his existence ; a good deal of what was put in the mouth was thus wasted.
Pagina 188 - ... and pubic bones. But in the median you have to extract towards the summit of this space, at the apex of a narrow triangle, having' the transverse muscles forming a tense bar along its base, and offering a material obstacle to the introduction of the forceps and the extraction of the stone. The second obstacle lies in the prostate ; but as it is easily removable by dilatation, it cannot be considered a serious one. " The third, the deepest and most important, is situated at the neck of the bladder....
Pagina 220 - ... and grasped at his toys, as his whistle, which he blew .in imagination; and he drew imaginary sketches with his pencil, and was very busy two or three times in putting into his mouth and eating imaginary currants, &c. A mixture of egg and brandy, with milk and sugar, was given him at short intervals, and just before five he was sick for the third time (a portion of the fluid so ejected was saved for analysis). After this he fell into a quiet sleep, and so remained till six pm, his pulse having...

The bleeding proceeds from the capillaries in the inner layers of the retina, and the blood either spreads laterally amongst the elementary structures of the retina, or bursting through the hyaloid membrane, it forms small clots in the vitreous humour. The retinal capillaries are irregularly dilated and studded with small fusiform and globular enlargements, little aneurismal pouches. These dilatations do not occur...
Pagina 128 - This amesthetic state is generally followed by a very opposite condition — namely, very remarkable hyperaethesia, in which the senses, the feeling of heat, and muscular activity reach an unusual degree of excitability. At any moment of the experiment the symptoms may suddenly be stopped, by rubbing the eyelids and directing upon them a stream of cold air. When the patients recover their senses, they remember nothing of what has taken place.
Pagina 40 - The whole of the anterior portion of the mucous membrane of the cheeks, gums, and under surface of the tongue sloughed away, and four teeth were lost during the operation of syringing. As the parts healed, the jaws became completely closed, owing to the loss of substance and contraction of the cicatrices, so that all nourishment had to be drawn through the teeth. The tongue also became reduced, and firmly adherent to the floor of the mouth and cheeks. The latter adhesions were afterwards divided...
Pagina 339 - I could say they are occult powers, forming the chain of fluidic connection between the world and the tomb ; but I am convinced in my own mind that, placed on the limits of fluidic dynamism, our observation might cast its scrutinizing glance into the unseen world.
Pagina 92 - ... so commonly used in England. To bruises, to allay the smarting of wounds after operation, to fractures, dislocations, and all similar injuries, it may be applied with implicit confidence in its power, to the exclusion of fomentations, cooling lotions, and leeches. The only objection that can be made to it is that it sometimes irritates the skin ; but this proceeds from its being employed in too great quantity and strength ; or it is possible there may be a peculiar idiosyncracy which predisposes...
