Often on endeavoring to undress he was two hours before he could get off his coat, all his mental faculties, volition excepted, being perfect.

Hence the feeling of relief almost always occasioned ; that diminution of...

There are many circumstances, however, which occasion local congestions in the brain, and consequently unequal pressure on its structure, in which case another portion of its substance must contain less blood, so that the amount of the whole, as to quantity, is always preserved.

The most extensive experience at St Louis has shown, that the sulphur and alkaline, or Helmerinch's ointment cures itch, on an average, in seven days.
