Seite 112 - The strength of this theory consists in the perfect parallelism of the phenomena of contagious disease with those of life. As a planted acorn gives birth to an oak, competent to produce a whole crop of acorns, each gifted with the power of reproducing its parent tree ; and as thus from a single seedling a whole forest may spring ; so, it is contended, these epidemic diseases literally plant their seeds, grow, and shake abroad new germs, which, meeting in the human body their proper food and temperature,...

Seite 109 - Life. — In every part of the body of man and the higher animals, and probably from the earliest age, and in all stages of health, vegetable germs do exist. These germs are in a dormant or quiescent state, but may become active and undergo development during life should the conditions favourable to their increase be manifested. Indeed, if the flow of fluid which persists in the normal state in the ultimate parts of the tissues as long as life lasts be stopped, changes...
Seite 112 - The application of these experiments is obvious. If a physician wishes to hold back from the lungs of his patient, or from his own, the germs by which contagious disease is said to be propagated, he will employ a cotton wool respirator.

Some of our friends who are subjects of the complaint, and who have short necks, dread this. I do not fear much from this, although in this stage I feel its influence more or less on the chest. Meantime...
Seite 138 - Mr. Webster, during the critical period, was in successive years in Washington, New York, Boston, and at his sea-side residence in Marshfield, near Plymouth, Mass. In all these places he suffered nearly equally. In 1839 he was in Scotland during the month of August and the greater part of September, and was exposed to the rain at Lord Eglinton's tournament, but escaped entirely. " In 1849, August 30, he was in Franklin, NH, about forty miles south of the Mount Washington region : ' My cold was severe...
Seite 47 - ^.temperature of 36° to 40° at sunrise is usually attended with frosts destructive to vegetation, the position of the thermometer being usually such as to represent less than the actual refrigeration at the open surface.'' In 1875, during October, at Milwaukee, the mercury fell seven times below the freezing point, and twice below zero in November, the lowest being 14°. The winters are generally long and severe, but occasionally mild and almost without snow. The mean winter temperature varies...
Seite 139 - ... direction. There are few inhabitants in these mountains, and no company, except tourists, who pass along rapidly, and disturb no one's repose. The weather has been fine, and my health improves daily ; yet it is not perfect, as the complaint which attacked me at Harrisburg, still more or less annoys me. I have never had confidence that I should be able to avert entirely the attack of catarrh ; but I believe that at least, I shall gain so much in general health and strength as to enable me, in...
Seite 101 - Early in September, 1870, I gathered in my grounds at Cambridge, Mass , some Roman wormwood in full flower, covered with pollen, taking the whole plant, stalk and roots. This was carried to the White Mountain Glen, about 1,200 feet above tide, where we remained till September 23rd in the afternoon.
Seite 11 - ... sneeze. If you sneeze once, you sneeze twenty times. It is a riot of sneezes. First a single one, like a leader in a flock of sheep, bolts over; and then in spite of all you can do, the whole flock, fifty by count, come dashing over, in twos, in fives, in bunches of twenty.") Paroxysms of sneezing, often of extreme violence, quickly ensue, followed by an abundant thin discharge from the nose.
