Side 53 - And, if so, may not those powers, with reason, be supposed to prevent the sensible alterations in the qualities of the blood, in such diseases as scurvy, scrofula, gout, lues, mercurial disease? And, if •we are compelled to admit such alterations in these, may we not be called upon to allow that it possibly exists in a greater or less degree in many others?
Side 8 - Inflammation may first be divided into two kinds as first principles, viz., the healthy and the unhealthy. The healthy probably consists only of one kind, not being divisible but into its different stages, and is that which will always attend a healthy constitution or part...
Side 55 - I believe,' says Mr. James in his valuable work on inflammation, ' there is no poison more injurious than foul air — no restorative more effectual than pure air; and it runs no risk of disordering the digestive organs, as bark often does, or stimulating the vessels too much, like wine.
Side xv - CLEAR and precise definitions of diseases, and the application of such names to them as are expressive of their true and real nature, are of more consequence than they are generally imagined to be: untrue or imperfect ones occasion false ideas; and false ideas are generally followed by erroneous practice.
Side 52 - ... the gene. ral explanation of the phenomena of disease by sympathy, yet he does. by no means exclude the influence of a depraved state of the blood. *' If experimental research often instructs, 1 believe it also frequently deceives us, because we too hastily form deductions from what we deem conclusive experiments. Now, the opposition to the humoral pathology has chiefly been grounded on the fact, that we cannot discover such an alteration in the circulating fluids as would seem to us to justify...
Side 53 - And, if •we are compelled to admit such alterations in these, may we not be called upon to allow that it possibly exists in a greater or less degree in many others ? The abuse of the humoral pathology has led to infinite mischief; but, if we are content to recognize the truth of the doctrine as far as facts seem to establish it, without however grounding any theory or practice on that which we only imperfectly understand, no harm can arise from belief. We can never err while we consider experience...
Side 278 - ... arresting acute inflammation, the patient being at the same time sunk and exhausted, the cornea shows a lack-lustre and raggedness of its whole surface as if shrunk by immersion in an acid, or a grey patch in the centre, or a line encircling or half encircling its base, assuming a similar appearance, the portion so marked out will infallibly be detached by a rapid slough, unless by a successful rally of the patient's powers we can set up the adhesive action,so as to preserve in siti that which...
Side 6 - If the doctrine were true,'* he says, " we should soon be made acquainted with all the different inflammations in the same person, at the same time, and even in the same wound. For instance, in an amputation of a leg, where we cut through skin, cellular membrane, muscle, tendon, periosteum, bone, and marrow, the skin should give us the inflammation of its kind, the cellular membrane of its kind, the muscles of theirs, the...
Side 52 - ... we must be strongly prejudiced not to believe that those matters have been contained in the blood, even although in the blood we cannot perceive them. But, do not the vital powers' quell and suspend the chemical properties of most substances ' Do they not convert the most dissimilar matters into an apparently similar substance ? May they not prevent these, and others, from manifesting...
Side 182 - ... affection, because we have something to add to it. In order that all our readers may know what angina externa is, we will here insert Mr. James's description of it. " The patient, a person of unhealthy, and generally of full and gross habit, has a swelling deep seated in the side of the neck, generally towards the angle of the jaw, causing a great degree of pain in that side of the head (moat probably from its effects on iho ñervo of the part), and accompanied with much fever.
