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 100 - ... it was completed June 1 3th, 1 888, without any suspension of traffic. 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 fatal night the wind swept down the gorge across the Horseshoe Fall from the south-west. With its span of...
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.

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.
