Side 229 - Whatever, in connection with my professional practice, or not in connection with it, I see or hear in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret.
Side 280 - College shall seek for business through the medium of advertisements, or of any other disreputable method, or shall consult with, advise, direct, or assist, or have any professional communication with any person who professes to cure disease by the deception called homoeopathy, or by the practice called mesmerism, or by any other form of quackery ; or who follows any system or practice considered derogatory or dishonourable to physicians and surgeons.
Side 281 - Council, it is inconsistent with professional propriety and derogatory to the reputation, honour, and dignity of the College, to engage in the practice of homoeopathy or mesmerism, or any other form of quackery as hereinbefore set forth.
Side 100 - This gave an entire new steel structure from bank to bank, with a span of 1 ,268 ft. As a suspension bridge, it was the admiration of all who visited Niagara, but it was doomed to an untimely fate. On the night of January 9- 10th, 1889, the Niagara locality was visited by a terrific hurricane, and when daylight came in the morning not a single inch of the bridge proper remained, it having been torn away from the cliffs as though cut out by a knife, and the entire mass of steel lay bottom up in the...

Side 101 - His only hope was to hold on and creep or walk towards the New York end, and this he did. When he passed off the bridge he was almost exhausted. He was the last man to cross the bridge before it fell. It is generally understood that the destruction of the bridge was due to a parting of the suspenders, which gave way one by one, allowing the bridge more freedom to swing on the gale until it was torn from its fastening.
Side 101 - The force of the wind almost took his breath away, while the clouds of spray and water almost drowned him. The night was intensely cold — the clashing of the wires of the bridge, the upheaval and swinging to and fro of the floor, and the roar of the Falls intensified the situation, and made the doctor almost fear reaching the river bank. His tightly buttoned overcoat was torn loose by the wind, which fairly ripped the buttons off.
Side 101 - From side to side the mighty structure surged, and 20 ft. or more high it tossed. The doctor realized that his life was in peril, for the storm seemed to be increasing in intensity. To the southern or upper rail of the structure he clung as best as he could, and carefully picked his way over the doomed bridge.
