Sometimes the force of the catarrh seems pretty much broken, and then it returns, attacking 'the head, eyes, nose, etc., with great violence. I think it is approaching its last stage, which is the asthmatic stage.
Seite 141 - 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 138 - 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...

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 176 - Tuesday, the 8th, I was to have gone into State Street to meet the people, but I did not find myself well enough. The next day, Wednesday, I came down to my house a good deal sick, and have hardly been out of doors from that day to this. My catarrh has held on unaccountably, and for three or four days I was quite ill with it, so much so that I called a physician.
Seite 54 - ^.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 13 - ... 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...
Seite 7 - All the cases agree in the time of- annual return, about the 20th of August, varying but a few days from this date in different years. By some individuals it is believed to be remarkably punctual, being first noticed on precisely the same day of the month, and, it is even asserted, at the same hour of the day. It is first perceived as a slight itching in the palate and in...
