Page 203 - And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised. 4 And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.
Page 8 - ... beings without exception, and which thus take rank as fundamental principles or laws. The first is, the power of rapid multiplication in a geometrical progression; the second, that the offspring always vary slightly from the parents, though generally very closely resembling them. From the first fact or law there follows, necessarily, a constant struggle for existence; because, while the offspring always exceed the parents in number, generally to an enormous extent, yet the total number of living...
Page 8 - ... increase year by year. Consequently every year, on the average, as many die as are born, plants as well as animals; and. the majority die premature deaths. They kill each other in a thousand different ways ; they starve each other by some consuming the food that others want ; they are destroyed largely by the powers of nature — by cold and heat, by rain and storm, by flood and fire. There is thus a perpetual struggle among them which shall live and which shall die ; and this struggle is tremendously...

Page 8 - The theory of natural selection rests on two main classes of facts, which apply to all organised beings without exception, and which thus take rank as fundamental principles or laws. The first is the power of rapid multiplication in a geometrical progression ; the second, that the offspring always vary slightly from the parents, though generally very closely resembling them. From the first fact or law there follows, necessarily, a constant struggle for existence...
Page 206 - O my son, have pity upon me that bare thee nine months in my womb, and gave thee suck three years, and nourished thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and endured the troubles of education.
Page 171 - The toxic theory of eclampsia is now the one generally held by most obstetricians, and in this connection the following points may be mentioned: 1. That in every case of pregnancy more or less toxaemia exists, and that the blood intoxication becomes more profound toward the end of gestation. 2. That, although the eclamptic state is due to a toxaemia, the toxic agent which excites the convulsions is probably not always the same;' there seems to be different types of the disease.
Page 228 - Still the solution of the question is not very difficult. The Dublin method is the method of pressing or squeezing off the after-birth by external compression of the uterus by the hand. " In doing this the organ must be grasped firmly, and pressure exerted upon it in the axis of the brim of the pelvis. ... It will tend much to the success of the manipulation if it be performed during the presence of uterine action
Page 224 - ... following one — that with this amount of retraction the uterine wall embraces the placenta all round. In other words, the placenta has not become separated before the uterus begins to act on it as a whole. When this has taken place, the operating force is no longer retraction of the site alone, but retraction of the walls throughout : the uterus of the Third Stage now acts on the placental mass ; and there is no uterine cavity in the sense of an empty space into which the placenta can arch...
Page 200 - Arise from thy flux.' If this does not cure her, set her in a place where two ways meet, and let her hold a cup of wine in her right hand, and let some one come behind and frighten her, and say, 'Arise from thy flux.
