Seite 17 - And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
Seite 63 - Two kinds of leakage might affect the bibulous beds at the base of the Lower Cretaceous formation in a sufficient degree to be worth consideration for the present purpose. Suppose the beds to dip seaward and beneath the sea, and either to rise to the ocean bed or to dip at a lower angle than the slope of the sea-bed, there would be a leakage into the sea.
Seite 32 - The reduction of organic matter in solution is the crucial test of the value of a purifying agent, for unless the organic matter is reduced the effluent will putrefy and rapidly become offensive. " I have not observed in any of the unfiltered effluents from this process which I have examined any signs of putrefaction, but, on the contrary, a tendency to oxidize. The absence of sulphuretted...
Seite 80 - Jeanpaulia bidens ns Plate 4, fig. 3. Frond broadly flabellate, segments somewhat short, often • becoming broader towards the apex and ending in a short wide bifurcation, or in a curved falcate, acute or acuminate point Veins not conspicuous, numerous (6 to 10) parallel, not branching. The longest of the segments in the specimen figured is 55 millim., and the width is from 3 to 6 millim. The resemblance of the form of this fossil to some species of of Helminthostachys is great, but the parallel...
Seite i - From this tub a bamboo pipe leads to another tub, through which the enclosed steam, the generated camphor and oil flow. This second tub is connected in like manner with a third. The third tub is divided into two compartments, one above the other, the dividing floor being perforated with small holes, to allow the water and oil to pass to the lower compartment. The upper compartment is supplied with a layer of straw, which catches and holds the camphor in crystal in deposit as it passes to the cooling...
Seite 65 - ... inches of rain, passes Bourke in the river. If 25 per cent. of it, which is equal to 5'53 inches of rain, passed away in this river, as it does in the Murray, there would be seventeen times as much water passing Bourke as now actually does pass .... and we ought, therefore, to have an underground water supply at least equal to sixteen times as much water as passes Bourke now. . . That we do not find it in the Darling is to my mind proof that it passes away to underground drainage.
Seite 24 - Tertiary strata of Southern New Jersey. And borings on the borders of the ocean, and even out on the sand beaches, which are some miles from the upland, show that the strata outcropping at the high ground in the marl region are continued without change or disturbance of their regularity as far out as these borings have been made.
Seite i - The simple method of manufacture employed by the natives is as follows : — The tree is felled to the earth and cut into small pieces, or, more properly speaking, into chips. A large metal pot is partially filled with water and placed over a slow fire. A wooden tub is fitted to the top of the pot, and the chips of camphor wood are placed in this. The bottom of the tub is perforated, so as to permit the steam to pass up among the chips.
Seite 102 - I have found that man one mass of bruises from the top of his head to the soles of his feet, and I have seen him succumb in six days, and I attribute it to this treatment.
Seite 110 - ... less than 100 instances, or in nearly 79 per cent of the whole. This I consider to be a point to which special attention should be paid, as it seems, to me, to shed a flood of light on the subject of tuberculosis in children. The age at which these tubercular glands in the mesentery were found is also significant. During the first year of life there were 4 cases; from one to two years and a half, 33; from three to five years and a half, 29; from six to seven years and a half, 12; from eight to...
