Page 389 - In Pneumonia these sounds become changed; there is dullness on percussion; and in the first stage, by auscultation, minute crepitation may be heard, which has been compared to the sound produced by rubbing a lock of hair between the finger and thumb close to the ear. In the next stage the sound just described cannot be heard, for as the Inflammation proceeds, the soft and spongy character of the lung is lost, as it becomes consolidated by organization of the effused fibrine in the air-cells, and...
Page 128 - And thus mankind will have one more admonition that " the people perish for lack of knowledge " ; and that the alleviation of the miseries, and the promotion of the welfare, of men must be sought, by those who will not lose their pains, in that diligent, patient, loving study of all the multitudinous aspects of Nature, the results of which constitute exact knowledge, or Science.

Page 39 - This vapor is subtle, acrid, and offensive to the smell; if retained in the body it becomes morbid, but if reabsorbed, highly deleterious. If a number of persons, therefore, are long confined in any close place not properly ventilated, so as to inspire and swallow with their spittle the vapors of each other, they must soon feel its bad effects.
Page 400 - The teeth are apt to fall out; and the breath to become intolerably foetid, from a gangrenous condition. There is generally enlargement and tenderness of the submaxillary glands. In severe forms of the disease, the destructive process rapidly extends, so that in a few days the lips, cheeks, tonsils, palate, tongue, and even half the face may become gangrenous, the teeth falling from their sockets, a horribly foetid saliva and fluid flowing from the parts (Aitken).
Page 573 - I can conscientiously assert I never lived so well as under the new plan of dietary, which I should have formerly thought a dangerous extravagant trespass upon health ; I am very much better, bodily and mentally, and pleased to believe that I hold the reins of health and comfort in my own hands...
