Page 299 - ... by the extravasation of this blood was undoubtedly the cause of the paroxysms of pain which occurred 'a short time before death. This mass of coagulated blood was of irregular form and nearly as large as a man's fist. It could be distinctly seen from in front, through the peritoneum, after its site behind the greater curvature of the stomach had been exposed by the dissection of the greater omentum from the stomach, and especially after some delicate adhesions between the stomach and the part...

Page 106 - But, as Dr. Roberts points out, in order to make this ferment operative it must not be taken after a meal is over. Rather it should be added to the various forms of milk porridge or puddings before they are taken into the mouth. About this there exists no difficulty. Maltine is a molasses-like matter, and mixes readily with the milk, gruel, etc. without interfering either with its attractiveness in appearance or its toothsomeness ; indeed its sweet taste renders the gruel, etc.
Page 198 - The meter (measure) is, practically, a fixed quantity, namely, the ten millionth part of the earth's quadrant from the Equator to the North Pole. With the meter everything can be measured, for it is itself the unit of length ; a cube, the edge of which is the tenth of a meter, is the unit of capacity (liter) and the weight of a cube of rain water, at its extreme...
Page 205 - Supposing that it does possess this power, we can readily see how very advantageous it will be. In chronic bronchitis and in catarrh and pneumonia we have a rapid cellgrowth, but want of development. The cells lining the respiratory cavities are produced in great numbers, but they do not grow as they ought to do. They remain more or less lymphoid cells instead of developing into proper epithelium. They so rapidly form and are thrown off so quickly that they have not time to get proper nutriment,...
Page 296 - DS Lamb, of the Army Medical Museum, Washington, DC Before commencing the examination, a consultation was held by these physicians, in a room adjoining that in which the body lay, and it was unanimously agreed that the dissection should be made by Dr. Lamb, and that Surgeon Woodward should record the observations made. It was further unanimously agreed that the cranium should not be opened. Surgeon Woodward then proposed that the examination should be conducted as follows : That the body should be...
Page 106 - Maltine is a molasseslike matter and mixes readily with the milk, gruel, etc., without interfering either with its .attractiveness in appearance or its toothsomeness ; indeed, its sweet taste renders the gruel, etc., more palatable. A minute or two before the milky mess is placed before the child or invalid, the maltine should be added. If a certain portion of baked flour, no matter in what concrete form, were added to plain milk, and some maltine mixed with it before it is placed on the nursery...
Page 299 - All the cavities were entirely empty except the right ventricle, in which a few shreds of soft, reddish, coagulated blood adhered to the internal surface. On the surface of the mitral valve there were several spots of fatty degeneration ; with this exception the cardiac valves were normal. The muscular tissue of the heart was soft, and tore easily. A few spots of fatty degeneration existed in the lining membrane of the aorta just above the semilunar valves, and a slender clot of fibrin was found...

Page 46 - The delirium immediately ceased. The patient exclaimed, "I am in heaven! I am in heaven ! Why didn't you do this before ? " He was kept at least seven hours in the bath, brandy being freely administered, and removed to bed. The bath was repeated the next day, after which he fell for the first time into a tranquil slumber. From this time recovery was progressive." This may seem a digression ; but the treatment of another of the exanthemata by similar means is not inapposite. My ten years added to...
