Popular passages
Page 133 - Moral insanity, or madness consisting in a morbid perversion of the natural feelings, affections, inclinations, temper, habits, moral dispositions, and natural impulses, without any remarkable disorder or defect of the intellect or knowing and reasoning faculties, and particularly without any insane illusion or hallucination.
Page 21 - All diseases, local or general, which hinder the return of venous blood to the right side of the heart, as those that have been already mentioned under Cyanosis (see p.
Page 228 - I had cases of epilepsy bidding defiance to all treatment, tumors, abscesses, cancer, softening of the brain, as well as insanity in its more formidable types, under my care, whose origin could unquestionably be traced back, for varying periods of one, two, five, eight, ten, fifteen, and even twenty years, to damage done to the delicate structure of the brain by injuries inflicted upon the head...
Page 173 - If, on the contrary, the heart's impulse is weak, the pulse irregular, and rattling in the trachea has already begun, we may be almost certain that bleeding would only do harm, since the action of the heart, which is already weakened, would be still more impaired, and the amount of arterial blood going to the brain would thus be still more decreased.
Page 485 - Toned paper. Extra cloth. $1.75. "When the original monograph appeared, it received our careful attention and commendation ; and now we have only to repeat our good words, and express our gratification that the work has undergone such careful revision."—Cincinnati Lancet and Observer.
Page 412 - In form it is about quadrilateral ; but it measures two and a half by one and three-quarter inches. Two large pieces of .bone are seen to have been detached and upraised, the upper one having been separated at the coronal suture from the parietal bone, and being so closely united that the fracture does not show upon the outer surface. The lower piece shows the line of fracture all around. Owing to the loss of bone, two openings are left in the skull ; one that separates the two fragments has nearly...
Page 217 - I gave him, in a very small phial, three or four drops of nitrite of amyl, and showed him how to inhale it by putting the open phial up one nostril while with one finger he closed the other, and then made a few full inspirations. The first attempt failed, because, as he said, the spasm of the left limb made him nervous. On the second occasion he began to breathe it the instant the fingers twitched — having pulled the cork of the phial with his teeth. In a few moments he felt his face flush, the...
Page 144 - ... Although the cases thus far examined may be regarded as insufficient to establish general conclusions, they go to strengthen the conviction sustained by the laws of general pathology, that insanity is a physical disease of the brain, and that the mental phenomena are symptoms. Further, that the microscope with patient and close investigation, will continue to disclose structural changes in 'the cerebral tissue, as marked as those heretofore unsuspected, when examinations were limited to the scalpel...
