עמוד 156 - The smallpox, so fatal and so general amongst us, is here entirely harmless by the invention of ingrafting, which is the term they give it. There is a set of old women who make it their business to perform the operation every autumn, in the month of September, when the great heat is abated. People send to one another to know if any of their family has a mind to have the smallpox ; they make parties for this purpose, and when they are met (commonly fifteen or sixteen together), the old woman comes...
עמוד 364 - Dissolve the sulphate of iron in one ounce of boiling water, and the phosphate of soda in two ounces of boiling water. Mix the solutions, and wash the precipitated phosphate of iron till the washings are tasteless. With sufficient diluted sulphuric acid, dissolve the sulphate of quinia in two ounces of water.
עמוד 296 - In certain epidemics it is frequently accompanied by a profuse purpuric eruption, and, occasionally, by secondary effusions into certain joints. Lesions of the brain and spinal cord and their membranes are found on dissection.

On the other hand, I have often seen ipecacuanha do its work well, and •with little disturbance of the stomach, without opium. Should it be determined to premise opium, thirty drops of the tincture should be given, and in half an hour followed by from twenty-five to thirty grains of ipecacuanha, which should be given in as small a quantity...
עמוד 139 - fever begins. It may be given by the breath of the patient be"fore the eruption has appeared on the surface of the body.
עמוד 313 - For, as a rule, the pulse from the very outset contraindicates the withdrawal of blood ; and, if in any case it should seem from the general symptoms that depletion might exercise some control over the central mischief, a thoughtful regard should be given to the future. The application of cold to the head and spine, either by means of ice or a freezing mixture, in Esmarch's India-rubber bags, is not open to the same objection as bloodletting, and has furnished by far the most satisfactory results...
עמוד 313 - ... narcotism or even an approach to that condition. Under the influence of the medicine the pain and spasm subsided, the skin grew warmer, and the pulse fuller, and the entire condition of the patient more hopeful.
עמוד 388 - ... rain, and a stillness of air amounting almost to calm, accompanied the progress of the disease on each occasion. In places near the river, the night temperatures were high, with small diurnal range, a dense torpid mist, and air charged with...
