Page 82 - lean and slippered pantaloons," and their "shrunk shanks" declare the pervading atrophy. "Others — women more often than men — as old and as ill-nourished as these, yet make a far different appearance. With these, the first sign of old age is, that they grow fat; and this abides with them till, it may be. in a last illness, sharper than old age, they are robbed even of their fat. These, too, when old age...
Page 49 - ... destructive of all memory and knowledge of sensuous things as the sudden destruction by some great injury is ? The answer is, — because of the exactness of assimilation accomplished in the formative process : the effect once produced by an impression upon the brain, whether in perception or in...
Page 31 - each single part of the body, in respect of its nutrition, stands to the whole body in the relation of an excreted substance...
Page 28 - Paget 36 gives a drawing of a diseased pelvis, in which the bone has grown into a most complicated pattern, but " there is not one spot or line on one side which " is not represented, as exactly as it would be in a mirror, on
Page 48 - I can hardly doubt that herein is the solution of what has been made a hindrance to the reception of the whole truth concerning the connexion of an immaterial Mind with the brain. When the brain is said to be essential, as the organ or instrument of the Mind in its relations with the external world, not only to the perception of sensations, but to the subsequent intellectual acts, and, especially, to the memory of things which have...
Page 46 - After any injury or disease by which the structure of a part is impaired, we find the altered structure, whether an induration, a cicatrix, or any other, as it were, perpetuated by assimilation. It is not that an unhealthy process continues ; the result is due to the process of exact assimilation...
Page 506 - In these cases the place of the ovary on either, or on both sides, is occupied by a nodulated mass of uniformly hard, heavy, white, and fibrous tissue. The mass appears to be generally of oval form, and may be three or more inches in diameter. Its toughness exceeds that of even the firmest fibrous tumor, and its component fibres, though too slender to be measured, are peculiarly hard, compact, closely and irregularly woven.
Page 106 - The exact fitness of every part of a living body for its present office, not as an independent agent, but as one whose work must be done in due proportion with many others concurring in operation with it, is a very marvellous thing ; but it seems much more so, that in the embryo, each of these parts was made fit for offices and relations that were then future ; and yet more marvellous than all it seems, that each of them should still have capacity for action in events that are not only future, but...
Page 325 - ... tissue that separated the gland lobes, and the degenerate elements of the epithelial contents of the tubes and acini. But among all these lie the proper cells of the cancerous growth, and these usually increase while the original structures of the gland decrease. So, too, in medullary cancerous disease of the uterus, the uterus itself, or part of it, is in the tumour, and gradually wastes while the medullary matter diffused or infiltrated in it is growing. The malignant growths may, I say, thus...
Page 357 - Certain of the cells in the proper villi of the chorion, deviating from their cell-form, and increasing disproportionately in size, form cysts, which remain connected by the gradually elongated and hypertrophied tissue of the villi. " On the outer surface of the new-formed cysts, each of which would, as it were, repeat the chorion and surpass its powers, a new vegetation of villi ¡sprouts out, of the same structure as the proper villi of the chorion. In these begins again a similar development of...
