Stranica 142 - I filled a glass flask half full of distilled water, in which I mixed various animal and vegetable substances; I then closed it with a good cork, through which I passed two glass tubes bent at right angles, the whole being air-tight. It was next placed in a sand-bath, and heated until the water boiled violently, and thus all parts had reached a temperature of 212° F.
Stranica 49 - I use a one-to-twenty watery solution of carbolic acid, only that the carbolic acid is dissolved not in pure water, but in an exceedingly dilute solution of chromic acid. But minute as is the quantity of the chromic acid, it exerts, when in conjunction with carbolic acid, a most powerful effect upon the gut. The first effect of the addition of the carbolic acid to the chromic solution is to change its pale yellow color to a rich golden tint.
Stranica 142 - While the watery vapour was escaping by 1he glass tubes, I fastened at each end an apparatus which chemists employ for collecting carbonic acid; that to the left was filled with concentrated sulphuric acid, and the other with a solution of potash. By means of the boiling heat every thing living, and all germs in the flask or in the tubes, were destroyed, and all access was cut off by the sulphuric acid on the one side, and by the potash on the other.
Stranica 143 - The air was of course not at all altered in its composition by passing through the sulphuric acid in the flask, but if sufficient time was allowed for the passage, all the portions of living matter, or of matter capable of becoming animated, were taken up by the sulphuric acid and destroyed. From the 28th...
Stranica 18 - Into two other smaller apertures in the top of the cupboard are inserted, air-tight, the open ends of two narrow tubes, intended to connect the interior space with the atmosphere. The tubes are bent several times up and down, so as to intercept and retain the particles carried by such feeble currents as changes of temperature might cause to set in between the outer and the inner air.
Stranica 180 - I am content to have established — at all events to my own satisfaction — that, by following Dr. Bastian's directions, infusions can be prepared which are not deprived, by an ebullition of from five to ten minutes, of the faculty of undergoing those chemical changes which are...
Stranica 277 - ... of living tissue is met at once by an overwhelming difficulty, to the removal of which none of the adapters, so far as I have seen, have as yet applied themselves. Granting that the same germs which would inevitably produce putrefaction in a dead infusion of beef, are constantly admitted to wounds, there is not the slightest particle of evidence that they do produce any change whatever upon living tissue, still less is there any evidence that the changes which occur in the numerous varieties...
Stranica 17 - A number of chambers, or cases, were constructed, each with a glass front, its top, bottom, back and sides being of .wood. At the back is a little door which opens and closes on hinges, while into the sides are inserted two panes of glass, facing each other. The top is perforated in the middle by a hole 2 inches in diameter, closed air-tight by a sheet of india-rubber.
Stranica 50 - ... the smaller testtube with the catgut wound round it, with a little shot to keep it down in the liquid. After forty-eight hours he takes out the smaller test-tube and leaves it till the catgut is completely dry. I merely mention this as an illustration, and also as furnishing a hint to some surgeons in private practice who may desire to prepare the catgut themselves. Or a couple of gallipots, one larger than the other, will do just as well.
Stranica 142 - At the same time I placed near it an open vessel, with the same substances that had been introduced into the flask, and, also, after having subjected them to a boiling temperature. In order now to renew constantly the air within the flask, I sucked with my mouth, several times a day, the open end of the apparatus filled with...
