Page 85 - It makes its approach in so slow and insidious a manner that the patient can hardly fix a date to his earliest feeling of that languor which is shortly to become so extreme. The countenance gets pale, the whites of the eyes become pearly, the general frame flabby rather than wasted, the pulse perhaps large, but remarkably soft and compressible, and occasionally with a slight jerk, especially under the slightest excitement. There is an increasing indisposition to exertion, with an uncomfortable feeling...
Page 86 - ... attempting it; the heart is readily made to palpitate; the whole surface of the body presents a blanched, smooth and waxy appearance; the lips, gums and tongue seem bloodless; the flabbiness of the solids increases; the appetite fails; extreme languor and faintness supervene, breathlessness and...

The prepuce is a superfluous piece of skin and mucous membrane, which serves no other purpose than acting as a reservoir for the collection of dirt, particularly...
Page 85 - For a long period I had from time to time met with a very remarkable form of general anemia occurring without any discoverable cause whatever — cases in which there had been no previous loss of blood, no exhausting diarrhea, no chlorosis, no purpura, no renal splenic miasmatic, glandular, strumous, or malignant disease.
Page 10 - The heavens, the earth, and all things contained therein, conspire to punish the rebels against their Creator. The sun and moon shed unwholesome influences from above ; the earth exhales poisonous damps from beneath ; the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, the fishes of the sea, are in a state of hostility ; the air itself that surrounds us on every side is replete with the shafts of death; yea, the food we eat daily saps the foundation of that life which cannot be sustained without it. So...

The preponderance of evidence points toward the conclusion not only that rheumatism and organic heart disease conjointly appear more frequently in the choreic subject than can be accounted for by coincidence, but that the same is true of each of these affections separately. It follows, therefore, that (a) rheumatism predisposes to chorea, and (6) organic heart disease has the same tendency. 3. (Drawn from the observation...
Page 61 - ... best medical talent in the city are engaged in the work. Their duty is to visit each school daily, early in the morning, and to examine all children whom the teacher thinks ailing. The teachers report to the principal all pupils whom they think appear ill, the physician examines them, and if any one is found too ill to remain in school, from any cause, he is sent home for the observation and care of his parents and family physician.
