Σελίδα 80 - The leading and characteristic features of the morbid state to which I would direct attention are, anaemia, general languor and debility, remarkable feebleness of the heart's action, irritability of the stomach, and a peculiar change of colour in the skin, occurring in connection with a diseased condition of the
Σελίδα 119 - In acting upon this mode, the surgeon may place the tip of the forefinger of his left hand upon the bleeding mouth of the artery which he intends to compress and close; holding the needle in his right hand, he passes it through the cutaneous surface of the flap, and pushes it...
Σελίδα 123 - Ligatures. 6th. Such dangerous and fatal complications are less likely to be excited by the employment of Acupressure, seeing the presence of a metallic needle has no such tendency to create local suppurations and sloughs in the wound, such as occur in the seats of arterial Ligatures.

The dose for an adult is four or five fluid ounces three times a day; probably more may be needed in some cases.
Σελίδα 226 - We have symptoms of the same kind as we see towards the close of every lingering disease, betokening the failure, first of one power, then of another ; the flickering of the taper, which, as all can see, must soon go out. The appetite becomes more and more capricious, and at last no ingenuity of culinary skill can tempt it ; while digestion fails even more rapidly, and the wasting body tells but too plainly how the little food nourishes still less and less. The pulse grows feebler, and the strength...
Σελίδα 149 - ... appropriate constitutional treatment I applied a thick, wide circle of paint round the swelling, and dressed with resin ointment and cotton wool. There was no advance of the disease from that time, the centres rapidly broke up, and recovery took place.
