Seite 233 - Frequently the septum of the nose assumes a peculiar leaden hue, and small gray spots [glander nodules! varying in size from a pin's head to that of a pea, make their appearance, and precede the formation of glander ulcers.
Seite 22 - On a particular day, the 9th of February, 1832, the weight of the air suddenly appeared to rise above the usual standard. As the rise was at the time supposed to be the result of some accidental error, or of some derangement in the apparatus employed ; in order to discover its cause, the succeeding observations were made with the most rigid scrutiny. But no error or derangement whatever could be detected. On the days immediately following, the weight of the air still continued above the standard...
Seite 40 - Diabetes is nothing more nor less than a form of dys" pepsia ; that this dyspepsia principally consists in a diffi" culty of assimilating the saccharine alimentary principle ; " and that like all other forms of dyspepsia, whether it be " an inherited or an induced affection, Diabetes is liable "to be much modified and aggravated by concomitant...
Seite 25 - ... blood. The severe and peculiar dyspeptic symptoms sometimes produced by inveterate snuff-taking are well known ; and I have more than once seen such cases terminate fatally with malignant disease of the stomach and liver.
Seite 22 - London, which had previously been west, veered round to the east, and remained pretty steadily in that quarter till the end of the month. Now, precisely on the change of the wind the first cases of epidemic cholera were reported in London ; and from that time the disease continued to spread.
Seite xxv - ... is no deficiency of indications that such is the case. Thus, Donne found that the skin and most of the internal membranes are in opposite electrical states; and Matteuci has seen a deviation of the needle amounting to 15° or 20°, when the liver and stomach of a rabbit were connected with the platinum ends of the wires of a delicate galvanometer. It may be questioned whether or not the differences in the secretions of these parts were the cause or the effects of their electric conditions. According...
Seite xvi - ... live for a while on one of these classes of aliments ; but that they can be so nourished for an unlimited time, is exceedingly improbable. Nay, if we judge from what is known from universal observation, as well as from experiments which have been actually made by physiologists regarding food, we are led to the directly opposite conclusion ; namely, that the more perfect animals could not so exist ; but that a mixture, of 'two at least, if not of all the three classes of staminal principles, is...
Seite 22 - ... the standard; though not quite so high as on the 9th of February, when the change was first noticed. The air retained its augmented weight during the whole time these experiments were carried on, namely, about six weeks longer. The increase of the weight of the air observed in these experiments was small; but still decided and real. The method of conducting...
Seite xxiv - ... constructed. Perhaps, therefore the decomposition of the salt of the blood may be fairly referred to the immediate agency of this principle, electricity. But here the question arises, What becomes of the soda from which the muriatic acid has been disunited? The soda remains behind, of course in the blood, and a portion of it no doubt, is requisite to preserve the weak alkaline condition essential to the fluidity of the blood. But the larger part of this soda is probably directed to the liver,...
Seite 35 - Another class of causes, or rather concurrent diseases, are various affections of the cutaneous and cellular tissues. I have seen several instances referable to this class ; and were I permitted to draw a general inference from my experience, I should say that diabetes usually follows cutaneous affections, and accompanies (perhaps precedes*) the affections of the cellular tissues.
