Side 260 - WE scatter seeds with careless hand, And dream we ne'er shall see them more ; But for a thousand years Their fruit appears, In weeds that mar the land, Or healthful store. The deeds we do, the words we say, — Into still air they seem to fleet, We count them ever past ; But they shall last, — In the dread judgment they And we shall meet.
Side 257 - Who breaks his birth's invidious bar, And grasps the skirts of happy chance, And breasts the blows of circumstance, And grapples with his evil star; Who makes by force his merit known And lives to clutch the golden keys, To mould a mighty state's decrees, And shape the whisper of the throne ; And moving up from high to higher, Becomes on Fortune's crowning slope The pillar of a people's hope, The centre of a world's desire...
Side 179 - If a man, conscious that he carries about with him the germs of a contagious disease, recklessly exposes the health and lives of others, he is a public nuisance and a criminal, and may be held answerable for the results of his conduct. If death occurs through his recklessness, he may be indicted for manslaughter. It is held that where a person knowingly communicates a contagious disease to another and death results, the crime is that of manslaughter.
Side 37 - Nursing children often vomit or regurgitate their food ; this has been relieved repeatedly in my experience by giving them a teaspoonful of a solution of one grain of calomel to the pint of water every ten or fifteen minutes. In order to dissolve it, the calomel should first be put into an ounce of lime-water, and then into the pint of pure water. One twenty-fourth of a grain of mercury with chalk, administered every fifteen or twenty minutes, is often of great benefit in the vomiting and non-inflammatory...
Side 37 - A single drop of the tincture of nux vomica given every ten minutes; will often produce most marked relief in sick headache not of a neurotic origin.
Side 35 - I consider it a better way to give a grain, either in liquid or pill form, every half-hour until the neuralgic symptoms are relieved. One of the advantages connected with the frequent repetition of doses is that the medicine may be so largely diluted as to be rendered comparatively tasteless, and harmless to the mucous membrane of the stomach.
Side 114 - The change in the form and shape of the uterus is frequently brought about in consequence of the tissues of the uterus being previously in a state of unusual softness, or what may be often correctly designated as chronic inflammation.
Side 283 - Dover was a friend and probably pupil of the great Sydenham. He commenced practice in Bristol, where, having made some money, he longed to make more. The Roll of the College of Physicians tells us that he joined with some merchants in fitting out two privateers for the South Seas, in one of which, the " Duke," he himself sailed from Bristol, August 2, 1708.
Side 38 - ... of the other tissues about the throat. For inflammation of the throat dependent upon a gouty diathesis, add to this mixture ten minims of the ammoniated tincture of guaiac, and administer every hour.
Side 37 - I can testify to the great benefit derived from the drug administered in this manner in dysmenorrhcea not of a membranous, obstructive, or neuralgic character. One of the most distressing symptoms from which many women suffer at the menopause is flatulence, and a sensation of fluttering or palpitation at the pit of the stomach, an effectual remedy against which is the extract of calabar bean in one-fiftieth grain doses, repeated every half-hour for six or eight doses.
