Stranica 96 - At first small gray specks or elevated gray spots (glanders-nodules), varying in size from that of a pin's head to that of a pea, make their appearance (Fig.
Stranica 229 - The Principles of Physiology, applied to the Preservation of Health, and to the Improvement of Physical and Mental Education.
Stranica 215 - There is no greater error in the management of children, than that of giving them animal diet very early. By persevering in the use of an overstimulating diet, the digestive organs become irritated, and the various secretions, immediately connected with, and necessary to, digestion, are diminished, especially the biliary secretion.
Stranica 210 - She should take daily exercise in the open air. It is erroneous to suppose that women, when nursing, ought to be much more highly fed than at other times. A good nurse does not require such artificial aid, and a bad one will not be improved by it. The quantity and variety of food and liquids of an exciting quality which many nurses consume, and the indolent life they too often lead, have invariably the effect of deranging the digestive organs, and inducing a state of febrile excitement ; circumstances...
Stranica 224 - ... can, and repeat this exercise at short intervals several times in succession : when this can be done in the open air, it is most desirable, a double advantage being thus obtained from the practice. Some exercise of this kind should be adopted daily by all young persons, more especially by those whose chests are narrow or deformed, and should be slowly and gradually increased.
Stranica 214 - If a child is born of scrofulous parents, I would strongly recommend that it be entirely nourished from the breast of a healthy nurse, for at least a year. After this, the food should consist of milk and farinaceous vegetables. By a perseverance in this diet for three years, I have imagined that the threatened scrofulous appearances have certainly been postponed, if not altogether prevented.
Stranica 170 - ... debility from disease, age, &c. ; — in short, a deteriorated state of health in the parent from any cause, to a degree sufficient to produce a state of cachexia, may give rise to the scrofulous constitution in the offspring.
Stranica 212 - There is no circumstance connected with health, concerning which the public are, in my opinion, so ill-informed, as the requisites of a healthy residence, both as regards local position and internal construction. In this island we have chiefly to guard against humidity, on which account our houses should not be built in low, confined situations, nor too near water, especially when stagnant, and, still less, near marshes. Neither should a house be too closely surrounded by trees or shrubs. Trees at...
Stranica 204 - The children of dyspeptic persons generally become the subjects of dyspepsia in a greater degree and at an earlier age than their parents ; and if they marry into families of a strumous constitution, their offspring are frequently found to be scrofulous and to die of consumption, or some other tuberculous diseases, in early youth, and even in infancy.
Stranica 32 - Percussion gives a dull sound over the superior parts of the chest, although the caverns which partially occupy this part of the lungs, and the emaciated state of the parietes, may render the sound less dull than in the preceding stage. The stethoscope affords more certain signs: the respiration is obscure, and in some places inaudible, while in others it is particularly clear, but has the character of the bronchial, or tracheal, or even the cavernous respiration of Laennec. There is a mucous...
