Page 112 - The amount of alcohol eliminated per day does not increase with the continuance of the alcohol diet ; therefore, all the alcohol consumed daily must of necessity be disposed of daily, and as it certainly is not eliminated within that time, it must be destroyed in the system.
Page 94 - Mrs. Matthews, the mother of Hon. Schuyler Colfax, had been the victim of mammary cancer for a long period, which had already assumed secondary and constitutional symptoms in a marked degree. On the 29th of April last, I placed her on the decoction of cundurango, and had the gratification of observing an early and decided change for the better, in both the local and general conditions. One of its almost immediate effects was the relief of pain, and a free diaphoresis, characterized by an odor distinctly...
Page 94 - ... discharge is different and not near so offensive. The greatest improvement is in her complexion. From a tallowy, puffylooking, and somewhat bluish skin, she is regaining her old natural look, the skin shrinking, becoming wrinkled and clear. " I am so happy in the prospect of a cure that I feel like a new man, as though a ton of lead had been lifted from my heart. Is it not a little singular, it has not had any perceptible effect on her nervous system ? Her digestion is good, and she begins to...
Page 101 - ... the face, neck, and other parts of the body to which the oily matters find access. On examining minutely the skin of those affected in this way, the following are the leading peculiarities of the eruption : — The bright red nodules, hard to the touch, tender on pressure, varying little in size, which is about equal to that of a grain of barley, are of a rounded form, and consist each of a single hair-follicle with the parts immediately surrounding it, which are inflamed, indurated, and reddened....
Page 140 - Uvat the maximum quantity of the hydrate that can be borne, at one dose, bears some proportion to the weight of the animal subjected to its influence. .The rule, however, does not extend equally to animals of any and every class. The proportion is practically the same in the same classes, but there is no actual universality of rule. A mouse weighing from three-quarters of an ounce to an ounce will be put to sleep by one quarter of a grain of the hydrate, and will be killed by a grain.
Page 188 - It is not only stronger, and thereby excites inflammatory adhesion in the walls of the tube, but the ether evaporates almost momentarily, and a pure coating of iodine is left along the fistulous track, which doubtless encourages absorption. The instrument I have used is an ordinary hypodermic syringe, with small silver canula, which may be readily bent to correspond with the direction of the sinus.
Page 142 - ... fine silver or copper wire six or eight inches in length. The silver plate is then placed in immediate contact with the bed-sore, and the zinc plate on some part of the skin above, a piece of chamois-skin soaked in vinegar intervening. This must be kept moist, or there is little or no action of the battery. Within a few hours the effect is perceptible, and in a day or two the cure is complete in a great majority of cases.

Page 187 - A well- waxed, strong, silk ligature is now to be placed at the bottom of the deep groove you have made, and the assistant then drawing out the pile with some decision, the ligature is tied high up at the neck of the tumour as tightly as possible.

In a few exceptional individuals the eruption does not disappear, but, assuming a chronic character, produces so marked and prolonged an affection of the skin that the general health becomes impaired, and the cessation of this employment becomes a necessity.
Page 94 - ... discharging a brownish, cancerous, limpid fluid; the countenance bloated, tallowy-looking, with a bluish pallor of the whole face; the lips turned blue at the least exertion, so that I have been very much alarmed, fearing a rapid crisis and dissolution; at the same time the tumor itself enlarged with fearful rapidity, so much so that I could notice the growth from day to day.
