Стр. 209 - That mercury cautiously given, does not in a great majority of cases do any injury to the general health, and that its local inconveniences may usually be prevented. "That the doctrine of the real antidotal character of mercury in respect to syphilis, ought to lead to much more prolonged administration of it, with the hope of destroying utterly all lingering germs of the malady. "That most collected statistics as to...
Стр. 51 - It may be urged that it is difficult to imagine how these remedies can produce effects so different and apparently opposite as the dispersion of inflammation in one case and the expulsion of pus in another ; but poultices and hot fomentations certainly possess the property both of subduing inflammation and of preventing suppuration, and in other cases of hastening considerably the evacuation of pus.
Стр. 398 - XX, 1. Doses of podophylline, varying from 2 to 8 grains, when given to dogs, diminished the solid constituents of the bile, whether they produced purgation or not. 2. Doses which produced purgation lessened both the fluid and solid constituents.
Стр. 276 - The pro tective he employs is made of oiled silk " brushed over with a mixture of one part of dextrine, two parts of powdered starch, and sixteen parts of cold watery solution of carbolic acid (one to twenty).
Стр. 380 - ... ipecacuanha wine pure or variously diluted. On the first application it sometimes excites a paroxysm of coughing, which generally soon subsides, but if it continues a weaker solution should be used. The. patient soon becomes accustomed to it, and inhales the spray freely into the lungs. At first a patient inhales less adroitly than he learns to do afterwards, as he is apt to arch his tongue so that it touches the soft palate, and consequently less enters the chest than when the tongue is depressed....
Стр. 335 - a woman suffers from frequent attacks of flushings or "heats' starting from various parts as the face, epigastrium, etc., thence spreading over the greater part of the body. These heats are generally followed by perspiration often very profuse. . . The heats are often accompanied by great throbbing throughout the whole body, and followed by much prostration, the patient seeming scarcely able to rouse herself.
Стр. 209 - That most collected statistics as to the duration of treatment and freedom from relapse are misleading and worse than useless, because usually the treatment was far too short to be effectual. " That it has not yet been proved that there are any special forms of syphilitic disease in which mercury ought to be avoided, although, as a general rule, it is acknowledged that it must be used with more caution in all forms which are attended by ulceration than in others. " That iodide of potassium possesses...
Стр. 208 - That delayed outbreaks of secondary syphilis are to be regarded rather as proof that the administration had not been sufficiently persevering than that the remedy was not efficient. That it is probable that the risk of tertiary symptoms is in ratio with the severity and prolonged duration of the secondary stage. That there are some grounds for believing that the tertiary symptoms of syphilis are both less frequent and less severe in those who have been efficiently treated by mercury than in others....
Стр. 50 - An unhealthy child, from six to twelve months old, suffers from a slight sore throat, perhaps occurring in scarlet fever or measles. The sore throat produces considerable enlargement of the glands behind the angle of the jaw. The swelling, of stony-hardness, may be sufficiently large to interfere with swallowing and to push the head on one side. Suppuration takes place, but is very deep-seated, and for a long time there is neither redness of the skin nor fluctuation, and the pus very slowly makes...
Стр. 553 - ... &c., should be only used at the times already spoken of. To use them at any other period, either after the molimina have disappeared, or during the intervals between them, tends in most cases still further to derange nature, by determining to the uterus at an unseasonable time, when there is no natural tendency to that organ ; under such circumstances, the very same means will frequently fail and prove injurious, which, applied so as to coincide with the time of the natural effort, would have...
