Page 37 - For after all these things do the Gentiles seek : for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.
Page 674 - ... eyes shut and the pupils contracted; and the whole expression of the countenance is that of deep and perfect repose. As the poisoning advances, the features become ghastly, the pulse feeble and imperceptible, the muscles exceedingly relaxed, and, unless assistance is speedily procured, death ensues. If the person recovers, the insensibility is succeeded by prolonged sleep, which commonly ends in twenty-four or thirty-six hours, and is followed by nausea, vomiting, giddiness, and loathing of food.

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you ? Oh ye of little faith...
Page 526 - The attack generally remains about an hour, but I obtain no relief until a copious expectoration takes place, which is invariably the case. After the attack is over I suffer no further inconvenience. I have always considered that the attack proceeds from the minute particles of the ipecacuanha floating in the atmosphere acting as an irritant on the mucous membrane of the trachea and bronchial tubes." In some cases the mere odour of the root seems sufficient to excite difficulty of breathing, with...
Page 762 - ... left me no doubt about the internal enemy which I had to combat in my medical treatment. This internal enemy I shall designate by the general term psora. It is an internal disease, — a sort of internal itch, — and may exist either with or without an eruption upon the skin.
Page 673 - In small doses, as from a quarter of a grain to a grain, it acts as an agreeable stimulant, this effect being followed by a desire to sleep, accompanied by dryness of the mouth and throat, thirst, and slight constipation. When it is given in a full medicinal dose (as from two to four grains), the stage of excitement is soon followed by well-marked depression or torpor, both of the bodily and mental organs, and an almost irresistible sleepiness ; these effects being usually succeeded by constipation,...
Page 820 - ... of the stomach, or by disease of the liver, the most marked benefit will follow the use of the remedy. Gallic acid, here, not only checks the secretion with a certainty and rapidity he has never seen follow the administration of any other remedy, but it gives general tone to the stomach, increases the appetite, and (what I very little expected when I first used it) in many cases removes constipation. This I can only account for on the supposition that the relaxed atonic state of the stomach which...
