Functional changes and perversions that are intense, complex and very changeable, associated with organic lesions, both obscure and well defined, not only difficult to diagnose, but more difficult to treat. These...

By this method beginning boils will be aborted, and those far enough advanced to threaten a siege of several weeks and successive crops, will soften and heal in such short time that the patient will be surprised at the result. When they can be obtained, granules containing one-tenth grain are to be preferred to the powders. The urine should be examined for sugar, as boils and diabetes often go together.
Seite 53 - I have found it convenient to bend the external portion backward, between the buttocks, tying the tape round the ring of the stilet — the ends of the tape being carried, as usual, to back and front of the waist-band. These more homely adaptations I have recommended, rather than the especially made kinds, because they are* often wanted at times when we can not send home for a more showy sort.
Seite 173 - Celerina on the brain and nervous system is that of an exhilarant and slight narcotic, relieving depressions and lessens irritable nerve conditions. In cases of organic and functional lesions of the heart, an increased steadiness of pulse-beat and diminution of pulse irritation is apparent.
Seite 145 - ... the reputation of this drug. Messrs. Parke, Davis & Co., who were the first to place a preparation of stigmata maidis before the profession of this country, with the return of the season have laid in a large supply of the drug in anticipation of a continuance of its popularity.
