Σελίδα 74 - ... brought thoroughly into contact with every part of the cavity without any recognition of its nature; but when a little water was added and swallowed, the taste was immediately perceived. "' 3. The same experiment was repeated with another substance (salt), and with the same result. "' It has long been known that large portions of the tongue may be removed without destroying or materially impairing the power of articulation ; but I am not aware of any case on record in which it has remained so...
Σελίδα 84 - A gargle was composed of 4 grains of the acid in 350 grains of common water, and it entirely carried off the pain ; on its reappearing, the same remedy was repeated with the same success. In the course of a month this treatment not only delivered the patient from all suffering, but even reduced the swelling of the tongue very considerably.
Σελίδα 143 - ... of the presence of the sulphites employed. These experiments seemed to prove that when sulphites, whether alkaline or earthy matters or not, are introduced into the stomach of a living animal, they may be absorbed and circulated as such through the organism."* Furthermore, " Dr. Polli found in men, as in dogs, that they are not ordinarily decomposed in the stomach, but pass unchanged into the blood, or, at least, appear in a brief period unchanged in the urine, and only after a while as sulphates.
Σελίδα 75 - ... were cut through • close to the bone. The tongue was thus in great measure released from its anterior and inferior attachments, and could readily be drawn forward, so that the wire of an ecraseur was, without difficulty, passed around its root, including the entire organ to its connexions with the larynx. The wire was tightened by degrees, and there was some free but not dangerous bleeding when the mass was detached. The man's recovery was uninterrupted and very rapid ; indeed, he regained...
Σελίδα 84 - Dr. BRANDINI, of Florence, has recently dis-covered that citric acid will assuage the violent pain which is the usual concomitant of cancer. He applies to the part pledgets of lint soaked in a solution of four grains of the acid in three hundred and fifty grains of common water, with the result of affording instantaneous relief in the most aggravated cases.
Σελίδα 117 - Tertiary Fossils." By R. P. Whitfield. Dr. Leidy exhibited some bones and teeth of Horses from California and Oregon, recently submitted to his examination by Prof. JD Whitney.

In these 2,336 tons were crushed, from which 2,887 oz. of gold, valued at ;£9,991, were obtained. This is in excess of the quantity obtained in 1863, which was only 552 oz.
Σελίδα 59 - Old whalers affirm that it is caused by fighting: they state that the sperm whales fight by rushing head first, one upon the other, their mouths at the same time wide open; their object appearing to be the seizing of their opponent by the lower jaw, for which purpose they frequently turn themselves on the side; they become, as it were, locked together, their jaws crossing each other; and in this manner they strive vehemently for the mastery. We...
Σελίδα 74 - ... impairing the power of articulation, but I am not aware of any case on record in which it has remained so perfect after complete removal of the organ. Of the facts above mentioned, the one that seems most curious is the connection between taste and deglutition ; from which it appears that the latter is essential for the full perception of the former. If the pleasure of taste could be perfectly gratified by mastication without deglutition, there would be no limit to the consumption of food ; but...

That when fattening animals are fed upon their most appropriate food, much of their stored-up fat must be produced from the carbohydrates it supplies. 3. That nitrogenous substance may also serve as a source of fat, more especially when it is in excess, and the supply...
