Seite 19 - Next considering that the spinal nerves have a double root, and being of opinion that the properties of the nerves are derived from their connections with the parts of the brain, I thought that I had an opportunity of putting my opinion to the test of experiment, and of proving at the same time that nerves of different endowments were in the same cord, and held together by the same sheath.
Seite 19 - On laying bare the roots of the spinal nerves, I found that I could cut across the posterior fasciculus of nerves, which took its origin from the posterior portion of the spinal marrow, without convulsing the muscles of the back ; but that on touching the anterior fasciculus with the point of a knife, the muscles of the back were immediately convulsed.
Seite 158 - I have many times seen children lie for a day or two in this kind of stupor, and recover under the use of wine and nourishment. It is often scarcely to be distinguished from the coma which accompanies diseases of the brain.
Seite 157 - As the diarrhoea and appearances of exhaustion subside, these remedies are to be subtracted, the bowels are to be watched and regulated, and the strength is to be continually sustained by the nurse's or ass's milk. The brandy has sometimes appeared to induce pain ; sal volatile is then to be substituted for it ; a dose of magnesia has also appeared to do good.
Seite 155 - If, through an erroneous notion as to the nature of this affection, nourishment and cordials be not given, or if the diarrhoea continue, either spontaneously, or from the administration of medicine, the exhaustion which ensues is apt to lead to a very different train of symptoms. The countenance becomes pale, and the cheeks cool or cold ; the eye-lids are half closed, the eyes are unfixed...
Seite 159 - It is chiefly indicated by heaviness of head and drowsiness: the age of the little patients whom I have seen in this state has been from a few months to two or three years ; they have been rather small of their age, and of delicate health, or they have been exposed to debilitating causes. The physician finds the child lying on its nurse's lap, unable or unwilling to raise its head, half asleep, one moment opening its eyes, and the next closing them again with a remarkable expression of languor. The...
Seite 73 - ... rectum, and of course with a portion of the spinal marrow, water be forced into the intestine, by means of READ'S syringe, both the cloaca and the bladder are fully distended before any part of the fluid escapes through the sphincter, which it then does on the use of much force only, and by jerks. The event is very different on withdrawing the spinal marrow: the sphincter being now relaxed, the water flows through it at once in an easy continuous stream, with the application of little force,...
Seite 218 - I had some time ago under my care, a man affected with hemiplegia of the left side ; the palsy complete, without the least attempt at motion, except under the following circumstances : he was very much affected with yawning, and every time he yawned the paralytic arm was raised up, with a firm steady motion, until it was at right angles with his body (as he lay in bed on his back), the fore-arm a little bent inwards, so that his hand was above his forehead at its gieatest elevation.
