140. oldal - Let the fluid, suspected to contain arsenic, be filtered : let the end of a glass rod, wetted with a solution of pure ammonia, be brought into contact with this fluid ; and let a clean rod, similarly wetted with a solution of nitrate of silver, be brought into contact with the mixture. If the minutest quantity of arsenic be present, a precipitate of a bright yellow colour, inclining to orange, will appear at the point of contact, and will readily subside to the bottom of the vessel.
1. oldal - December, 1804, being some months advanced in pregnancy, felt a sudden snap on the left side of her forehead, which was attended with pain, and followed by a copious effusion of a limpid fluid into the cellular substance of the eyelids on the same side. For some days preceding she had complained of a severe pain in the head, which was now increased to so great a degree, that for the space of a week she was unable to raise it from the pillow. The osdematous VOL.
2. oldal - ... swelling surrounding the orbit was reduced by punctures ; an issue was set in the temple for a smart attack of ophthalmia which supervened, and leeches and cold washes were applied. She now first perceived a protrusion of the globe of the eye which affected the sight, and a circumscribed tumour, elastic to the touch, about as large as a hazel nut, appeared upon the infra-orbitary ridge. Another softer and more diffused swelling arose, at the same time, above the tendon of the orbicularis palpebrarum....
2. oldal - The gjobe of the eye was gradually forced upwards and outwards, and its motions considerably impeded. She had a constant noise in her head, which, to her sensation, exactly resembled the blowing of a pair of bellows. The pulsatory motion of the tumours was much increased by agitation of mind, or strong exercise of body, but the most distressing of her symptoms was a cold obtuse pain in the crown of the head, occasionally shooting across the forehead and temples. She was compelled to rest the left...
309. oldal - The tumor is kept by the truss entirely within the channel of the spine ; but when the truss is removed, it soon becomes of the size of half a small orange. It is therefore necessary, that the use of the truss should be continued. When the truss is removed, the finger can be readily pressed through the tumor into the channel of the spine*.
322. oldal - ... in the loins is attempted either to be palliated or radically cured. If the lower extremities are paralytic, or the feces and urine are discharged involuntarily, there is no hope of relief. If the tumor has burst at the time of birth, or bursts soon after, there is little hope of cure ; for although the opening in the skin may be closed by lint and adhesive...
13. oldal - May 1811, a knob, of the size of a large pea, over the inner angle of the eye, was the only vestige that remained of the disease.
12. oldal - October, she miscarried at the period of about ten weeks after conception. The haemorrhage was so considerable as to induce syncope, and left her in a state of extreme debility. On the succeeding morning, it was observed that the upper tumour was flattened, and the pulsation had altogether ceased. On the 30th, she felt pain in the affected side of the head, and was feverish. In the course of a few hours, the cellular substance of the orbit was filled with a serous fluid, precisely as at the commencement...
309. oldal - ... the mother observed, when it was reduced that the child appeared in some degree dull; and this was always the case if the truss was left off for a few minutes, and then re-applied. At fifteen months he began to talk ; and at two years of age he could walk alone. He now goes to school, runs, jumps, and plays about as other children. His powers of mind do not appear to differ from those of other children. His memory is retentive, and he learns with facility.
117. oldal - An opportunity has lately occurred to me of trying the plan of treatment in diabetes, which has been recommended, with so strong a body of evidence in its favour, by Dr. Watt, nf Glasgow.
