Page 448 - The smallpox, so fatal and so general amongst us, is here entirely harmless by the invention of ingrafting, which is the term they give it. There is a set of old women who make it their business to perform the operation every autumn, in the month of September, when the great heat is abated. People send to one another to know if any of their family has a mind to have the smallpox ; they make parties for this purpose, and when they are met (commonly fifteen or sixteen together), the old woman comes...
Page 448 - Every year thousands undergo this operation; and the French ambassador says pleasantly, that they take the smallpox here by way of diversion, as they take the waters in other countries. There is no example of any one that has died in it ; and you may believe I am well satisfied of the safety of this experiment, since I intend to try it on my dear little son. I am patriot enough to take pains to bring this useful invention into fashion in England...
Page 111 - In 1849 and 1854, the temperature was above its average ; and a total absence of rain, and a stillness of air, amounting almost to calm, accompanied the progress of the disease on each occasion. In places near the river, the night temperatures were high, with small diurnal range...
Page 463 - Duly and efficiently performed, it will protect the constitution from subsequent attacks of small-pox as much as that disease itself will. I never expected it would do more ; and it will not, I believe, do less.
Page 285 - ... and rounded and peg-like ; their edges are jagged and notched. Owing to their smallness their sides do not touch and interspaces are left. It is, however, the upper central incisors which are the most reliable for purposes of diagnosis. When the other teeth are affected these very rarely escape, and very often they are malformed when all the others are of fairly good shape. The characteristic malformation of the upper central incisors consists in a dwarfing of the tooth, which is usually both...
Page 693 - ... which it lies, coil itself round, and grasping a foot with both hands thrust it into its mouth as far as possible, as though the great object of its existence at that moment was to turn itself inside out.
Page 111 - ... occasion. In places near the river, the night temperatures were high, with small diurnal range ; a dense torpid mist, and air charged with the many impurities arising from the exhalations of the river and adjoining marshes ; a deficiency of electricity ; and, as shown in 1854, a total absence of ozone, most probably destroyed by the decomposition of the organic matter with which the air in these situations is strongly charged.
Page 452 - ... (3.) that the cowpox might be communicated at will from the cow to man by the hand of the surgeon, whenever the requisite opportunity existed ; and (4.) that the cow-pox once ingrafted on the human subject, might be continued from individual to individual by successive transmissions, conferring on each the same immunity from smallpox as was enjoyed by the one first infected from the cow.
Page 595 - It was attended with an intense pain in the head. It terminated sometimes in four, for the most part in five or six days, sometimes in nine, and commonly in a critical sweat; it was far from being mortal. I was assured of seventy of the...
Page 601 - is contagious. Of this we have sufficient evidence in the fact that almost all the clerks and others exposed to the contagion have been seized. Dr. Heude and his successor, Mr. Reid, in the New Fever- Hospital ; Dr. Bennett, my successor there ; Mr. Cameron and his successor ; Mr. Balfour, in the adjoining fever house ; as well as most of the resident and clinical clerks in the Royal Infirmary, have gone through severe attacks during the past summer and autumn. Hardly any of the nurses, laundry-women,...
