Page 153 - I selected as the title of my Lectures in 1843, strictly interpreted, means a necessary mutual or reciprocal dependence of two ideas, inseparable even in mental conception : thus, the idea of height cannot exist without involving the idea of its correlate, depth ; the idea of parent cannot exist without involving the idea of offspring. It has been scarcely, if at all, used by writers on physics, but there are a vast variety of physical relations to which, if it does not in its strictest original...
Page 506 - That if any person shall unlawfully apply or administer, or attempt to apply or administer to any other person, any chloroform, laudanum, or other stupifying or overpowering drug, matter or thing, with intent thereby to enable such offender, or any other person, to commit, or with intent to assist such offender or other person in committing any felony, every such offender shall be guilty of felony...
Page 166 - ... peritoneum would have been opened without the least consideration, and supposedly as a matter of necessity ; that also the danger of the proceeding is much lessened if so delicate and easily inflamed a structure as the peritoneum is not meddled with. Experience has already amply shown the truth of this ; but, on the other hand, it cannot be denied that there are many good surgeons who look upon this mode of operating not only with great suspicion, but who consider it to be both unsatisfactory...
Page 506 - ... with intent thereby to enable such offender or any other person to commit or with the intent to assist such offender or other person in committing any felony, every such offender shall be guilty of a felony, and being...
Page 5 - One arm, or both arm and leg on one side, become seized with convulsive movements, quite of the clonic or epileptic kind. These come in paroxysms ; the paroxysm lasts a variable time, and then subsides, leaving more or less general exhaustion and disposition to sleep ; but consciousness is not impaired. Yet there can be no doubt that such fits may pass into the true epileptic fit ; for it is not rare to sec a very complete epileptic fit commence with some local derangement of sensation or motion,...
Page 153 - Reviewing the series of relations between the various forces which we have been considering, it would appear that in many cases where one of these is excited or exists, all the others are also set in action: thus, when a substance, such as sulphuret of antimony, is electrified, at the instant of electrisation it becomes magnetic in directions at right angles to the lines of electric force ; at the same time it becomes heated to an extent greater or less according to the intensity of the electric...
Page 464 - ... cases, it must be manifest to every one who reads the history of them, that the patients died not from exhaustion, but from strangulation. By those who will take the pains to consider inflammation as a process, it will be understood that it may be checked, but cannot be suddenly extinguished by the most active means; time must be allowed for the process to decline, even after the fairest efforts have been made to arrest its progress.
Page 234 - ... the soil is everywhere coated with these saline particles ; and although it is quite impossible to keep any articles made of iron, free from rust, yet the constant breathing of this saline atmosphere does not appear to be prejudicial to health ; diseases of the lungs are unknown. I have not seen one case of pulmonary consumption among the arabs.
Page 247 - The hazard inseparable from extensive injury to the peritoneum, when unblunted in its sympathies and unaltered in its texture, as in cases of ovarian or other tumours, for the removal of which a similar exposure of the abdominal cavity is sometimes practised.
Page 340 - ... the same inverse ratio, between the fibrinousness and the perfection of the blood, in the facts; that there is little or no fibrin in the blood of the foetus, none in the egg of the chick, none in the chyme, and less in the blood of the carnivora (who feed on it) than in that of the herbivora.
