The place for which he is well fitted, and which would be most agreeable to him, is Surgeon General of the middle department ; in this line he served all the last war in the British service, and has distinguished himself this winter,...
Page 86 - I trust it may not be supposed, that my intention has been to undervalue the importance of mercury as a remedy in the diseases of children. On the contrary, no one appreciates it more highly than myself. In many cases, nothing can supply its place, and its judicious use has been, and is, the instrument of saving multitudes of lives.

Page 123 - That they have seen with great pleasure the operation of a national government, which has established order in the United States. They rejoice to find amongst the powers, which belong to this government, that of restraining, by certain duties, the consumption of distilled spirits in our country. It belongs more peculiarly to men of other professions to enumerate the pernicious effects of these liquors upon morals and manners. Your memorialists will only remark, that a great proportion of the most...
Page 86 - I pencil those parts with a strong solution of the nit argent, say from 3ss to 3i, to §i of distilled water. In the phlegmonous form it will be found necessary to repeat the application more frequently than in the simple, with the addition of a bread and water poultice, applied nearly cold and well sprinkled with water strongly impregnated with the kreosote, or a cloth, kept constantly wet with the solution, especially for the face.
Page 51 - ... under the eyes and on the surface of the body ; rigidity of the abdominal muscles ; spasmodic twitchings of the flexors of the extremities, and a disposition to a constant motion of the legs from side to side, alternately. There was difficulty in expanding the lungs, respiration chiefly through the nostrils, constipation, and sometimes retention of urine. Stertorous breathing coming on, death soon closes the scene. The disease runs its course in from fifteen to seventy-two hours.
Page 54 - Instead of inserting a tube in the usual manner, through the opening into the trachea, Dr. Pancoast secured the open state of this, by cutting from the trachea an elliptical portion of cartilage, thus leaving an oval opening into the tube somewhat larger than that of the two nostrils; while the edges of the incision through the soft parts, were kept asunder by a leaden wire, which passing around the neck, had the hooked ends of its two free extremities inserted on each side of the wound. The next...
Page 86 - I immediately apply the purest kreosote, with a camel's hair brush, over the whole of the affected surface, extending it some distance beyond the inflamed part, and at the same time administering a dose of chlor.
Page 151 - Resolved, That as a testimony of respect for the memory of the deceased, the members and officers of this House will wear the usual badge of mourning for thirty days.
Page 86 - In the phlegmonous form it will be found necessary to repeat the application more frequently than in the simple, with the addition of a bread and water poultice, applied nearly cold and well sprinkled with water strongly impregnated with the kreosote, or a cloth, kept constantly wet with the solution, especially for the face. The kreosote when applied, should cause the parts to become white immediately. If this does not occur, it is not pure. Thus you will perceive that success depends upon having...
