Seite 112 - As an antipyretic it acts rather more slowly than antipyrine or acetanilide, but efficiently, and it has the advantage of being free, or almost free from any depressing effect on the heart. Some observers even think that it exerts a sustaining action on the circulation. As an analgetic it is characterized by promptness of action and freedom from the disagreeable effects of the narcotics. It has been much used, and with very favorable results in neuralgia, influenza and various nervous disorders characterized...
Seite 145 - ... overlapping the paste half an inch all round ; this must be left for a short period, say ten minutes, by which time any superabundant paste will have been taken up by the extra lint, which is then to be carefully cut away with a sharp pair of scissors ; in an hour, or at most two, the lint covering the paste will have become dry and hard, and it will adhere closely and firmly to the cancer. In the course of twenty-four hours the surrounding parts will commence to swell, become red, and to a certain...
Seite 407 - In height the non-users of tobacco increased 24 per cent, more than the regular users and 12 per cent, more than the occasional.
Seite 408 - Housework, chores, gardening, walking, climbing, cycling, running, swimming, and many other sports give just the kind of exercise that is indicated in certain conditions, due regard being had to the physiological effects of varying dosage. Oertel has shown how the simple exercise of walking may be adapted to sufferers from cardiac debility by prescribing the distance and speed, and the number and length of the rests, on definite paths graduated according to their slope. His interesting and original...

Seite 244 - The patient's clothing is pulled down under the armpits, completely baring the abdomen and the chest. The operator, standing at the head, institutes respiratory movements as follows : Inspiration, by placing the open hands on each side of the chest posteriorly over the lower ribs, and drawing the chest well forward and outward, holding it thus for about two seconds ; expiration, reversing...
Seite 378 - ... prefers hot water, so does one patient get comfort from cold injections and another from heated ones. If the water be cold, care should be taken that undue chilling of the body does not result in feeble persons, or if hot, on the other hand, that a mild degree of heat fever is not produced. The success of this treatment depends absolutely, in many instances, upon the gentleness and care with which the injection is given, and the water must be allowed to trickle into the bowel rather than to enter...
Seite 81 - As the tissue-forming power in young animals is more active than in older animals the bones of the former are preferable as a source of marrow extract. To prepare the extract the heads of the long bones, obtained from recently killed animals, with other portions of bone which contain red marrow, are broken into small pieces and digested in glycerine with frequent agitation. When the extraction is complete — several days being required — the extract is filtered off and is ready for use. It is...

Seite 263 - There is little necessity of advocating the utility of sunshine. Proof is sufficient, but it is necessarily combined with that of other climatic attributes. Everybody acknowledges the benefit of sunshine, though in summer time he may have a personal preference for shade. Undoubtedly the effect of light upon man's physical and moral well-being is analogous to the fructifying influence of the sun's rays upon the vegetable kingdom. All life depends upon sunshine, and for successful existence must have...
