Seite 9 - Paris says, however slow and feeble respiration may become by disease, yet it must always be perceptible, provided the naked breast and belly be exposed ; for when the intercostal muscles act, the ribs are elevated, and the sternum is pushed forward : when the diaphragm acts, the abdomen swells, now this can never escape the attentive eye ; and by looking at the chest and belly, we shall form a safer conclusion, than by the popular methods which have been usually adopted.
Seite 103 - ... the very act of suicide is an evidence of insanity; as if every man, who acts contrary to reason, had no reason at all: for the same argument would prove every other criminal non compos, as well as the self-murderer.
