Page 39 - ... system; whence, by the intervention of the cold stage and spasm connected with it, the action of the heart and larger arteries is increased, and continues so till it has had the effect of restoring the energy of the brain, of extending this energy to the extreme vessels, of restoring, therefore, their action, and thereby especially overcoming the spasm affecting them ; upon the removing of which, the excretion of sweat, and other marks of the relaxation of exeretories, take place.
Page 249 - ... ventricular systole, since there is not sufficient time between the heart beats for the blood to pass into the veins. Thirdly, that the arteries are highly distensible and stretch to accommodate the extra amount of blood forced into them; and Fourthly, that there is a distinct resistance interposed to the passage of the blood from the arteries into the veins, from the enormous number of minute vessels, small arteries (arterioles) and capillaries into which the main artery has been ultimately...
Page 489 - Restraining the anger and violence of madmen is always necessary for preventing their hurting themselves or others: but this restraint is also to be considered as a remedy.
Page 336 - In all these instances the pheno, mena have been much the same ; and the disease has always been particularly remarkable in this, that it has been the most widely and generally spreading epidemic known. It has seldom appeared in any one country of Europe, without appearing successively in every other part of it...
Page 498 - Melancholia ; but when an anxious fear and despondency arises from a mistaken judgment with respect to other circumstances than those of health, and more especially when the person is at the same time without any dyspeptic symptoms, every one will readily allow this to be a disease widely different from both dyspepsia and Hypochondriasis, and it is what I would strictly name Melancholia. " In this there seems little difficulty ; but as an exquisitely melancholic temperament may induce a torpor and...
Page 199 - ... the voice, comes on, and a thin liquid is poured out from the mouth. These symptoms increase with the swelling of the face ; and the liquids of the mouth...
Page 183 - His discouraging experience makes him say : — " I am much disposed to believe the impossibility of a cure of the gout by medicines ; and more certainly still incline to think, that whatever may be the possible power of medicines, yet no medicine for curing the gout has hitherto been found.
Page 547 - ... leads me to judge that it originates more frequently from mothers than from fathers. So far as I can refer the disease of the children to the state of the parents, it has appeared to me most commonly to arise from some weakness, and pretty frequently from a scrophulous habit in the mother.
Page 97 - A spasm of the extreme arteries, supporting an increased action in the course of them, may therefore be considered as the proximate cause of inflammation; at least, in all cases not arising from direct stimuli applied; and even in this case the stimuli may be supposed to produce a spasm in the extreme vessels.10 ... the pathology of hemorrhagy seems to be sufficiently obvious.
Page 498 - In this there seems little difficulty ; but as an exquisitely melancholic temperament may induce a torpor, and slowness in the action of the stomach, so it generally produces some dyspeptic symptoms, and from thence there may be some difficulty in distinguishing such a case from hypochondriasis ; but I would maintain, however, that when the characters of the temperament are strongly marked, and more particularly when the false judgment turns upon other subjects than that of health; or when, though...
