The life of the child may be endangered, also, through absorption of the essential oil of ergot. 8. If given after the birth of the child, and before the expulsion of the placenta and membranes, it may prevent the removal of the latter, and thus be indirectly a cause of puerperal septicaemia.
Seite 250 - After passing the oesophageal ring, it moves from right to left, along the small arch ; thence through the large curvature, from left to right. The bolus, as it enters the cardia, turns to the left, passes the aperture, descends into the splenic extremity, and follows the great curvature towards the pyloric end. It then returns, in the course of the smaller curvature, and makes its appearance again at the aperture in its descent into the great curvature, to perform similar revolutions.
Seite 248 - The inner coat of the stomach, in its natural and healthy state, is of a light or pale pink colour, varying in its hues, according to its full or empty state. It is of a soft or velvet-like appearance, and is constantly covered with a very thin, transparent, viscid mucus, lining the whole interior of the organ.
Seite 245 - It is readily diffusible in water, wine or spirits; slightly effervesces with alkalis; and is an effectual solvent of the materia alimentaria. It possesses the property of coagulating albumen, in an eminent degree; is powerfully antiseptic, checking the putrefaction of meat; and effectually restorative of healthy action, when applied to old, foetid sores, and foul ulcerating surfaces.

Seite 313 - August, Reardon complained that the right breast was exceedingly painful — the pain being very different in its character from that which she had before experienced. On examination, the whole side of the chest was found considerably swollen ; there was slight diffused redness of the skin ; and...
Seite 253 - It appears that the crude food excites the contractile power of the pylorus, so as to prevent its passage into the duodenum, while the thinner chymified portion is pressed through the valve, into the intestine. After the contractile impulse is carried to the pyloric extremity, the circular band, and all the transverse muscles' become relaxed, and a contraction commences in a reversed direction, from right to left, and carries the contents again to the splenic extremity, to undergo similar revolutions.
Seite 314 - Power, aged 19, applied to me on the 14th September 1832. She complained of headache, languor, loss of appetite, and inability to attend to her usual business, that of a servant. She stated, that about the middle of April, the menstrual discharge being then present, she incautiously exposed herself to cold in washing clothes at a river. The catamenia then suddenly ceased, and had not since returned; and from that period she had been constantly subject to ill health. She had consulted different medical...
Seite 244 - I think I am warranted, from the result of all the experiments, in saying, that the gastric juice, so far from being "inert as water," as some authors assert, is the most general solvent in nature, of alimentary matter — even the hardest bone cannot withstand its action. It is capable, even out of the stomach, of effecting perfect digestion, with the aid of due and uniform degrees of heat (100° Fahrenheit) and gentle agitation, as will be seen in the following experiments. The fact that alimentary...
