It is quite conceivable, that while still comparatively free in the uterus, it may, by virtue of its very easy mobility in the dense liquor amnii, change its position. If this occur at a time when its dimensions are beginning to approximate to those of the uterus, having overcome some resistance of the uterine walls by the...

Page 203 - Of the precise nature of this poison we are wofully ignorant ; we only know it by its effects on the system. It should be stated, however, that Klebs and others suppose that they have discovered what it is, and are now at work trying to demonstrate that it is due to a spore in the blood. The poison, when brought in contact with a healthy surface, invariably gives rise to a disease similar to itself, the resulting sore or ulcer yielding a virus in every respect identical with that which produced it....
Page 306 - With all the advantages of its new circumstances, the child after birth cannot assume or maintain a new position : \ \ > how much less could it be expected to do so in the uterus, and under circumstances so disadvantageous for the fulfillment of such a function! Those authors who. with Dubois, strive to prove that the position of the foetus is determined by its own motions have first to prove that itcould maintain any position whatever against gravity, without such constant efforts as voluntary muscles...
Page 240 - Again, it may become gangrenous — true gangrene, which latter complication only occurs in half-famished, dirty persons, who have no regard for cleanliness, the inmates of prisons, almhouses, cellars and other foul habitations. These patients usually die under the regular practice. There is a form of bubo called the creeping, which is the exact counterpart of the serpiginous chancre, creeping snake-like about in different directions. Syphilitic bubo is liable to be confounded with bubo from other...
Page 100 - My rule is, deliberately to consider, before I commence, whether the thing be practicable. If it be not practicable, I do not attempt it. If it be practicable, I can accomplish it if I give suflicient pains to it; and having begun, I never stop till the thing is done. To this rule I owe all my success.
Page 171 - ... of the papillae and the dilatation of their vessels; the thickening of the fibrous tissue ; the increased number of the cells of the reto malpighii ; and the obliteration of the sebaceous glands ; but the cause of these changes is not known. It is said, that the chemical constituents of the epidermic cells are altered. There has been found "an excess of the inorganic ingredients generally, with an excess of fat, and a decided trace of iron, with phosphate and carbonate of lime and in some cases...
Page 245 - ... place for its development. There is no pain at any time. The diagnosis is easy, as there is but one other disease which at all resembles it, and that is psoriasis rupioides ; but in the latter affection there is a want of the characteristic dirty color of the scabs and the coppercolored areola. The prognosis should be guarded, as this is an affection of considerable gravity and really belongs to the tertiary stage. Syphilitic pustules are less common than erythematous and papular eruptions, but...
Page 156 - The Permanent Changes. — The uterus after delivery does not resume its nulliparous shape and size, but retains vestiges of the condition through which it has passed. The weight of the organ is increased to about an ounce and a half; the fundus and body are rounded externally ; the cavity of the body loses its triangular shape, and becomes much larger relatively to the cervix, while the os internum is left somewhat agape.
