Page 315 - What though our tempered poisons save Some wrecks of life from aches and ails ; Those grand specifics Nature gave Were never poised by weights or scales !

Page 553 - The reflexes gradually diminished during the course of the poisoning and were totally absent eight minutes before the cessation of the circulation. A similar quantity was injected into a frog so prepared that the movements of the heart could be observed in situ and the capillary circulation watched under the microscope. The cardiac cycle was observed to gradually and uniformly become longer, the contractions lessened in vigor, the ventricle contracted more slowly than the auricles, reacting lazily...

He found that strychnine increased the amount of gastric juice secreted, the general acidity, and the quantity of free acid in the secretion. It also hastened the absorption from the stomach, and strengthened the mechanical movements. Its effect, too, continued for some time after its administration had been stopped. Like many other Russian observers, Dr.
Page 553 - ... auricles, reacting lazily to an electric current, and finally the heart stopped in diastole, spreading out like mush when removed from the body and placed upon a glass plate. The capillaries dilated, slowly and irregularly at first, but fifteen minutes before death relaxed entirely, and the blood current diminished in rapidity in proportion to the capillary paresis and the cardiac depression, the corpuscles tumbling along against each other and showing a tendency to adhere to the vessel wall....
Page 554 - Respiration became rapid, weak, shallow, and stopped before the heart, the latter becoming slower and more feeble, and finally, a few minutes before the circulation ceased, would make no impression upon the drum of a cardiograph. Guided by these experiments, the writer concluded that salbromalid was best applicable to those affections characterized by functional disturbances of the circulatory system brought about by reflex impressions or too active stimulation, and acute inflammatory conditions...
