Página 19 - ... necessary to retain its heat must vary in different climates. Thus, less heat is necessary in Palermo, where the temperature of the air is that of the human body, than in the Polar regions, where it is about 90° lower. In the animal body, the food is the fuel ; and, by a proper supply of oxygen, we obtain the food given out during its combustion in winter. When we take exercise in a cold atmosphere, we respire a greater amount of oxygen, which implies a more abundant supply of carbon in the...
Página 66 - A gentleman removed 90 sheep from a considerable distance to his own residence. On coming near to a bridge, which is thrown over the Barling's river, one of the drove fell into a ditch and fractured its leg. The shepherd immediately took it in his arms to a neighbouring house, and set the limb. During this time, which did not occupy more than one hour, the remainder were left to graze in the ditches and lane. The flock were then driven home, and a month afterwards the other sheep joined its companions....
Página 485 - The next case to which I wish to call your attention is that of James Maher, aged 22, who was admitted September 4th, in a low emaciated condition. He has a very troublesome cough, which occurs in paroxysms ; sputa scanty and bronchitic ; can lie easier on his back than on either side ; sweats after sleeping ; appetite bad ; bowels open ; pulse 100, small ; respirations hurried. On looking at his naked chest, it is evident that the right half of the chest moves much less than the left. Percussion...
Página 19 - If we were to go naked, like certain savage tribes, or if in hunting or fishing we were exposed to the same degree of cold as the Samoyedes, we should be able with ease to consume 10 Ibs. of flesh, and perhaps a dozen of tallow candles into the bargain, daily, as warmly clad travellers have related with astonishment of these people.
Página 60 - ... that fever in Ireland at least, depends on some general atmospheric change which affects the whole island simultaneously, independent of situation, aspect, height above the level of the sea, dryness or moisture of the soil, or any other circumstance connected with mere locality, is proved by the fact, that when typhus begins to increase notably in the Dublin hospitals, we may always rest assured that a nearly simultaneous increase of fever will be observed at Cork, Galway, Limerick and Belfast.
Página 61 - ... prevalent diseases to be of a magnitude of which no conception had been formed at the commencement of the investigation. Its importance is manifested by the severe consequences of its neglect in every part of the country, as well as by its advantages in the increasing salubrity and productiveness...
Página 436 - ... within the last year ; the first was a young gentleman of highly irritable nerves, who had studied hard and dissipated much ; in him the paroxysms of pain did not observe any very marked period, but returned daily at uncertain intervals, which grew shorter and shorter, until at last he had scarcely any respite day or night. There was no fever, and not the slightest appearance of local congestion or inflammation. When attacked with a paroxysm the patient would throw himself on the floor, and roll...
Página 194 - That the diminution or cessation of impulse, the proportionate diminution of both sounds, or the preponderance of the second sound, are direct and nearly certain indications for the use of wine in fever.
Página 307 - From the numbers of emigrants who, about this period, had landed at Quebec, and arrived at Montreal from England and Ireland, a first impression was created that they had been the means of transmitting the epidemic across the Atlantic. A more close investigation into the facts connected with the commencement of the disease in these cities served to destroy this supposition. It could not be traced to importation.
Página 381 - I may observe, en passant, that where paralysis simultaneously attacks the arm and leg of the same side, it arises from an impression on the nervous centres, but this, I think, does not hold where the paralysis is creeping, as in the case before me, which has been taken by Mr.
