Seite 64 - It seem'd the general air, From pole to pole, from Atlas to the East, Was then at enmity with English blood. For, but the race of England, all were safe In foreign climes ; nor did this Fury taste The foreign blood which England then contain'd. Where should they fly ? The circumambient heaven Involved them still ; and every breeze was bane.
Seite 486 - To be able to contemplate with complacency either issue of a disorder which the great Author of our being may, in his kindness, have intended as a warning to us to prepare for a better existence, is of prodigious advantage to recovery, as well as to comfort; and the retrospect of a wellspent life is a cordial of infinitely more efficacy than all the resources of the medical art.
Seite 482 - Sometimes the disorder comes on so gradually and insensibly, that the patient is hardly aware of its commencement. He perceives that he is sooner tired than usual, and that he is thinner than he was ; but yet he has nothing material to complain of. In process of time his appetite becomes seriously impaired; his nights are sleepless, or if he, get sleep, he is not refreshed by it. His face becomes visibly extenuated, or perhaps acquires a bloated look. His tongue is white, and he suspects that he...
Seite 482 - If he asks advice, his pulse' is found quicker than it should be, and he acknowledges that he has felt pains occasionally in his head and chest, and that his legs are disposed to swell ; yet there is no deficiency in the quantity of his urine, nor any other sensible failure in the action of the abdominal viscera, excepting that the bowels are more sluggish than they used to be.
Seite 26 - ... introduced into the jugular vein, will vomit in one or two minutes, although it might require perhaps half an hour if thrown into the stomach, and in fact does not vomit till it has reached the circulation. And the same is true of opium, jalap, and most of the poisons, animal, mineral, and vegetable. If imperfectly elaborated, or with a disproportion of some of its constituent principles to the rest, the whole system partakes of the evil ; and a dysthesis or morbid habit is the certain consequence...
Seite 100 - The nature of fever depends partly upon the state of the body at the time of the attack ; but, chiefly, upon some modification in the powers or qualities of the febrile miasm, by the varying proportions of these agents, in relation to each other, in different places and seasons.
Seite 25 - Upon the whole, we cannot but regard the blood as, in many respects, the most important fluid in the animal machine ; from it all the solids are derived and nourished, and all the other fluids are secreted ; and it is hence the basis or common pabulum of every part. And as it is the source of general health, so it is also of general disease. In inflammation it takes a considerable share, and evinces a peculiar appearance. The miasms of...
Seite 26 - ... certain consequence ; whence tabes, atrophy, scurvy, and various species of gangrene. And if it become once impregnated with a peculiar taint, it is wonderful to remark the tenacity with which it retains it, though often in a state of dormancy or inactivity for years, or even entire generations. For as every germ and fibre of every other part is formed and regenerated from the blood, there is no other part of the system that we can so well look to, as the seat of such taints, or the predisposing...
Seite 430 - Plague. succeeded by great and unquenchable thirst. Cold water was eagerly resorted to by the unwary and imprudent, and proved fatal to those who indulged in its momentary relief. Some had one, two, or more buboes, which formed themselves, and became often as large as a walnut, in the course of a day ; others had a similar number of carbuncles ; others had both buboes and carbuncles, which generally appeared in the groin, under the arm, or near the breast.
Seite 482 - In the latter stages of this disease, the stomach seems to lose all its powers ; the frame becomes more and more emaciated ; the cellular membrane in the lower limbs is laden with fluid ; there is an insurmountable restlessness by day, and a total want of sleep at night ; the mind grows torpid and indifferent to what formerly interested it; and the patient sinks at last, seeming rather to cease to live than to die of a mortal distemper.
