Page 164 - The hookworms are about half an inch long. They live in the small intestine, where they suck blood, produce minute hemorrhages, and in all probability also produce a substance which acts as a poison. They lay eggs which cannot develop to maturity in the intestine.

Notwithstanding the readiness with which the breathing and pulse vary in infancy under the slightest exciting causes, they maintain a relation to each other which is special to the early period of infancy, and differs from the ordinary ratio of childhood...
Page 119 - ... in children. In general it may be said that the diagnostic value of the leucocytosis in the pulmonary affections of children is limited.
