Page 40 - Is this a dagger which I see before me, The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. I have thee not, and yet I see thee still. Art thou not, fatal vision, sensible To feeling as to sight? or art thou but A dagger of the mind, a false creation, Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
Page 526 - The prize is open- for competition to the whole world, but the essay must be the production of a single person. The essay, which must be written in the English language, or if in a foreign language, accompanied by an English translation, must be sent to the College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA, before January 1, 1898, addressed to Barton Cooke Hirst, MD, Chairman of the William F.

All the men who are now called discoverers, in every matter ruled by thought, have been men versed in the minds of their predecessors, and learned in what had been before them. There is not one exception.
Page 269 - It might be so, but he thought not, and making every allowance for the bias and prejudice inseparable from the hope or vanity of an original discovery, he confessed that he felt it very difficult to be persuaded that it was so. On the contrary, he could not help entertaining a very strong impression that these hitherto mysterious...
Page 100 - ... such, as shown by the prominent whitish nodules upon them. Some looked as if they were beginning to suppurate, and many were not unlike the ordinary molluscum, but when incised with a lancet they were found to consist of firm tissue, which on pressure gave out no fluid save blood. They were of a yellowish colour, mottled with a deepish rose tint, and with small capillary veins here and there ramifying over them.
Page 419 - Several spots were found to be affected uniformly in all the cases examined, namely, the olivary bodies, the vicinity of the median plane of the medulla, the grey matter of the floor of the fourth ventricle, and in particular a spot just internal to the origin of the facial nerve. This point...
Page 274 - Bright's papers on the kidney constituted only a portion of his writings, and to those who knew Addison, it is almost absurd to rest his fame on a discovery made towards the close of his career, and when his clinical teaching had reached its end. To his pupils the essay on supra-renal disease is nothing compared with what he did during a long series of years in the elucidation of the forms of phthisis and some other diseases.
