Page 187 - On again visiting the patients, whom he did not expect to find alive, he was most agreeably surprised. The harsh respiratory murmur, the difficult breathing, the dry characteristic cough, the loss of tone in the voice, had all disappeared ; the breathing was free, the cough loose, and the hoarseness diminished. Several portions of croupal membrane had been coughed up. The improvement continued on the next day, and perfect recovery followed in a few days.
Page 179 - ... show that, like a sensible practitioner, he does not allow himself blindly to follow either the one or the other, but seeks out the cause of disease, and tries by rational measures to remove it. The cases are the most valuable part of the book.

Third stage. — Chloral should be given in thirty-grain doses every four hours, till sleep comes on, and then repeated as often as necessary.

Three cases of epileptiform neuralgia were slightly, or only temporarily relieved. Two cases were cured. One of them had existed for seven years, with an interruption of seven months, procured by resection of the affected nerve. The results thus afford a partial support to M. Gubler's assertion. The value of ammoniacal sulphate of copper in the...

Page 338 - I was in the habit of adopting in all such cases at St. Bartholomew's Hospital, Chatham, some thirteen years ago, viz., the application of sheet lead, moulded to the shape of the leg and kept on by an ordinary calico bandage. The size of the lead should be sufficient to cover the ulcer completely and lap a little over the whole skin ; the edges and angles should be well rounded, so as not to chafe or irritate ; it should be about an eighth of an inch in thickness, and moulded very accurately to the...
Page 184 - His treatment is to soften the corn by applying to it for one night an ointment consisting of turpentine and acetate of copper, each one part ; white resin, two parts ; and yellow wax four parts. The corn should then be excised with scissors, care being taken to go deep enough to remove its summit. After excision the matrix should be cauterized with sulphuric acid, else the corn will be reproduced.
Page 216 - ... and the more satisfactory it should, and must be, to all persons legitimately concerned in the offensive businesses that are to be under examination. It will be found as true in New York as it has been in England and Scotland, as stated by the English government sanitary Commissioner Ballard, that " it is commonly found in practice to be as much to the interest of the manufacturers as of the public that the emanations from offensive processes should be thus arrested.
