We can employ either a lighted candle or bright sunlight, as our best means of obtaining the requisite illumination; but even in diffused daylight I have succeeded very well in the manner I mention.
Page 15 - ... many years thickly covered with the peculiar favus crust, four or five nightly applications of the above ointment have sufficed to make it perfectly clean. So long as the patient will continue regularly to use a small quantity every day, the disease may be prevented from reappearing, and the condition assumed by the scalp under its influence might easily be mistaken by the inexperienced for one of complete cure. As soon, however, as the inunction is suspended, the eruption reappears. This liability...
Page 119 - It consists in the occurrence of a series of inspirations, increasing to a maximum, and then declining in force and length, until a state of apparent apnoea is established.

In after life, when swaying the surgical sceptre of England, as Sir Astley Cooper, his professional income, in one single year, amounted to £23,000; and yet, during the first twelve months after he...

Page 94 - AUAN, extending the local application of the vapour of chloroform in uterine affections, recommended by Dr. Hardy, of Dublin, has adapted to Hardy's apparatus a hollow uterine sound, pierced at the end by two openings ; this is passed into the uterine cavity. Caution is advised not to inject the vapour too suddenly, lest the uterus be distended ; but done gradually, it is said that instant relief is given in uterine pain.
Page 276 - ... laid down at present, as to the local infection. General infection must be extremely rare ; for those who oppose the classification into cancer and cancroid, can bring very few satisfactory cases of general poisoning from genuine epithelioma. The disease often kills by local destruction, and general waste, but without anything which can be called special or peculiar cachexia. When removed even completely, it will sometimes return in an aggravated from, and with rapidity; but this is quite exceptional.

The passage of two sponge-armed probangs into the throat, and by the withdrawal of the lower one, calculating the position of the other, whether in the oesophagus or trachea, did not, as far as experimented with, yield satisfactory results. For it was not proved to the satisfaction of the committee that the sponge-probang entered the larynx and trachea. The sensations of the patient are reliable...
