עמוד 318 - Every year thousands undergo this operation ; and the French ambassador says pleasantly, that they take the small-pox here by way of diversion, as they take the waters in other countries.
עמוד 318 - The small-pox, 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 small-pox : they make parties for this purpose, and when they are met (commonly fifteen or sixteen together), the old woman comes...
עמוד 319 - There is no example of any one that has died in it ; and you may believe I am well satisfied of the safety of this experiment, since I intend to try it on my dear little son. I am patriot enough to take pains to bring this useful invention into fashion in England...
עמוד 106 - ... determination to the head, perhaps inflammation of the brain, and to demand farther loss of blood. Of the possibility of this fallacious fulness and even sharpness of the pulse (generally a somewhat tremulous and easily compressed, but nevertheless sharp pulse, according to the notion formerly explained as being annexed to this last term), some of the experiments of Dr Parry on animals killed by repeated bleedings, and in which the pulse was " full and bounding" almost to the moment of death,...
עמוד 347 - ... that the chances of recovery are diminished by the practice of bleeding, in the ratio of nearly four to one, as compared with the chances, supposing the patient not to have been bled.
עמוד 273 - While ague is the offspring of the marsh or its margins, and remittent is the effect of a more concentrated form of the same exhalation from some moist surface in the process of solar desiccation, the malarious form of yellow fever appears to be the product of that state of the atmosphere which takes place after a long continuance of solar heat, with little or no wind, in those points chiefly where the atmosphere of the sea and that of the land are in constant communication and interchange. It is,...
עמוד 55 - In order to give the requisite precision to the general notion of Inflammation, as a local change of the condition of any part of the body, it seems only necessary to include in it, besides the pain, swelling, heat, and redness, the tendency always observed, even when the changes in question are of short duration, to Effusion from the bloodvessels of some new products ; speedily assuming, in most instances, the form either of coagulable lymph or of pus.
עמוד 143 - ... are nothing else but fleabites. The two appearances, however, cannot be mistaken by a careful observer, &c. Sometimes the petechiae are few in number, and escape notice ; in other instances, on the contrary, they are very much crowded. This appearance is owing to a thin stratum of extravasation on the surface of the true skin, and appears connected with increased force (?) of the circulating system, being most characteristic when reaction is high.
עמוד 353 - The various forms of puerperal fever depend on this one cause, and may readily be deduced from it.
עמוד 355 - no line of demarcation can with strictness be drawn between the blood and the solids. Physiologically speaking, it is impossible to conceive that one of these two parts of the same whole could be modified without the other being so likewise. On the one hand, inasmuch as the blood nourishes the solids, and as, without its presence, they cannot support life, the state of the solids cannot but be influenced by the state of the blood. The chemist might as well say that the nature of a body does not...
