Popular passages
Page 295 - Thou hast spread thy wing, and sheltered us from the pestilence that walketh in darkness, and the destruction that wasteth at noon-day.
Page 303 - ... the smallpox was always present, filling the churchyards with corpses, tormenting with constant fears all whom it had not yet stricken, leaving on those whose lives it spared the hideous traces of its power, turning the babe into a changeling at which the mother shuddered, and making the eyes and cheeks of the betrothed maiden objects of horror to the lover.
Page 34 - ... because such is the usual and natural cause of such an effect. But you did not see the ball leave the gun, pass through the air, and enter the body of the slain ; and your testimony to the fact of killing is, therefore, only inferential, — in other words, circumstantial. It is possible that no ball was in the gun ; and we infer that there was, only because we cannot account for death on any other supposition.
Page 289 - My hopes are with the Dead ; anon My place with them will be, And I with them shall travel on Through all Futurity ; Yet leaving here a name, I trust, That will not perish in the dust.
Page 544 - Looking into the application, upon the faith of which the policy was issued and accepted, we find much justifying the conclusion that the company did not require the insured to do more, when applying for insurance, than observe the utmost good faith, and deal fairly and honestly with it, in respect of all material facts about which inquiry is made, and as to which he has or should be presumed to have knowledge or information. The applicant was required to answer yes or no as to whether he had been...
Page 468 - I am entirely convinced that we ought not to be longer without a national board of health or national health officer charged with no other duties than such as pertain to the protection of our country from the invasion of pestilence and disease. This would involve the establishment, by such board or officer, of proper quarantine precautions, or the necessary aid and counsel to local authorities on the subject, prompt advice and assistance to local boards of health or health officers in the suppression...
Page 543 - Colds are generally accompanied with more or less congestion of the lungs, and yet in such a case there is no disease of the lungs which an applicant for insurance would be bound to state.
Page 428 - This consists in the inharmonious movements of the chest and diaphragm. It exists from the beginning, and may serve to reveal it even in insidious cases. It requires careful searching. The chest and abdomen must be bared, but not suddenly, or the hyperesthetic skin will take on accidental movements from the action of the air. In the first period of meningitis we see irregularity of rhythm and then remark the inequality of the amplitude or development of the chest.
Page 110 - ... 2. The police shall not decide as to the disposition of such a case, but must await the decision of the ambulance surgeon, police surgeon, or of the physician called, and must act in accordance with such decision. 3. A police officer who acts in opposition to such decision should be by the ambulance surgeon, police surgeon, or the physician, reported to the police Commissioner, who should subject such officer to discipline, rules governing such cases having previously been made and promulgated....
Page 138 - KECTAL feeding may be carried on by means of a mixture of two eggs, twenty grains of pepsin, ten grains of chloride of sodium, and six ounces of water. This mixture should be slightly warmed, thoroughly agitated, and then gently introduced into the bowels by means of a syringe. To facilitate the entrance of the fluid into the intestines it is well to put the patient in a position with the hips much elevated above the head, either the knee-chest position or with two or three pillows resting beneath...
