Page 763 - When we see a stroke aimed and just ready to fall upon the leg or arm of another person, we naturally shrink and draw back our own leg or our own arm...
Page 273 - ... taken no further care of. Most men of sense, indeed, ridiculed the proposal, but after being fully tried, it was found that the sympathetic mode of treating wounds was more successful than those plans which proceeded upon what were considered scientific principles ; and it continued to gain ground in the public estimation, until at length some innovator ventured to try the experiment of closing up tho wound without applying the sympathetic powder to the sword.
Page 751 - During one part of this disease, after the disappearance of this stationary phantom, I had a very singular and amusing imagery presented to me. It appeared as if a number of objects, principally human faces or figures, on a small scale, were placed before me, and gradually removed, like a succession of medallions. They were all of the same size, and appeared to be all situated at the same distance from the face.
Page 754 - Besides this, there is another connexion of ideas wholly owing to chance or custom. Ideas that in themselves are not at all of kin come to be so united in some men's minds that it is very hard to separate them; they always keep in company, and the one no sooner at any time comes into the understanding but its associate appears with it...
Page 751 - I had no recollection of ever having previously seen. For about twenty-four hours, I had constantly before me a human figure, the features and dress of which were as distinctly visible as that of any real existence, and of which, after an interval of many years, I still retain the most lively impression : yet neither at the time nor since, have I been able to discover any person whom I had previously seen who resembled it. During one part of this disease, after the disappearance of the stationary...
Page 754 - ... ideas that in themselves are not at all of kin, come to be so united in some men's minds that it is very hard to separate them ; they always keep in company, and the one no sooner at any time comes into the understanding, but its associate appears with it; and if they are more than two which are thus united, the whole gang, always inseparable, show themselves together.
Page 751 - under a fever, attended with symptoms of general debility, especially of the nervous system, and with a severe pain of the head, which was confined to a small spot situated above the right temple. After having passed a sleepless night, and being reduced to a state of considerable exhaustion, I first perceived figures presenting themselves before me, which I immediately...
Page 550 - The latter tube enters just where the paunch, the second and third stomachs, approach each other; it is then continued with the groove, which ends in the third stomach. This groove is therefore open to the first stomachs, which lie to its right and left. But the thick prominent lips, which form the margin of the groove, admit of being drawn together so as to form a complete canal : which then constitutes a direct continuation of the œsophagus into the third stomach.
Page 378 - ... 6. The blood, in passing through the lungs, absorbs a portion of oxygen, and this appears to be more than what is necessary for the formation of the carbonic acid which is discharged. 7. It is probable that the blood, as it passes through the lungs, both absorbs and exhales nitrogen, the proportion which these operations bear to each other being very variable, and depending upon certain states of the system, or upon the operation of external agents. 8. It appears upon the whole, probable, that...
Page 458 - The carbonic acid is formed in the body by the combination of the oxygen of the air with the carbon of the blood.
