Seite i - A PRACTICAL TREATISE ON THE DISEASES PECULIAR TO WOMEN. Illustrated by Cases derived from Hospital and Private Practice. Third American, from the Third and revised London edition.
Seite 627 - I wanted in this place almost every thing necessary, but bethought me of a very odd instrument, yet as good as the best in its consequence, because it answered the end proposed. I took a strong fir splinter, such as the poor in that country use to burn instead of candles. I wrapped about the end of...
Seite 627 - I ventured to lay open about two inches more. I was not a little startled, after so large an aperture, to find only a glutinous substance bung up this orifice.
Seite 398 - I could at pleasure lay the flat of the blade upon the point of these fingers, and urge the point of the instrument a little beyond the tip. The apex of the forefinger being in this manner converted into a cutting point, by little and little I gradually worked my way through the back of the 'vagina towards the front of the rectum, so as to enter the...
Seite 349 - ... ova Nabothi, which exist in such numbers in the cervix and margin of the os uteri ; these become indurated by the deposition of scirrhous matter around them, and by the thickening of their coats ; in consequence of which they feel at first almost like grains of shot or gravel under the mucous membrane ; afterwards, when they have acquired greater volume by further increase of the morbid action, they give to the part the unequal, bumpy, or knobbed condition, like the end of one's fingers drawn...
Seite 696 - The condition of the patient is no longer doubtful ; her actions are often violent ; and, without personal restraint, serious, perhaps fatal injury might be inflicted on herself and those around her.

Seite 602 - She was greatly emaciated, had a very quick and feeble pulse, a shining red tongue, and constant watchfulness. She suffered from constant and irrepressible diarrhoea, and for many successive days vomited both food and medicine: the catamenia were absent.
Seite 275 - the solution of chloride of lime effected the absorption of a large tumour (in the course of some months), regarded by competent authorities as scirrhus, in a lady whose other breast had been extirpated for that disease. Not long after she died of asthma, from diseased lungs; the scirrhous tubercle appearing not only in the chest, but in several of the abdominal viscera.
Seite 490 - It was partially sphacelated in its peritoneal covering, on the upper portion or fundus. " With regard to the other viscera, the liver was much diminished in size, and adhered to the diaphragm throughout ; the gall-bladder was large, and turgid with deep-coloured bile; the stomach, colon, and other intestines, with the omentum, were glued together in many places, and in some were in an evident state of sphacelatiou.
Seite 21 - Chlorosis is a rare affection in rural districts, where female youth are much in the open air, where it is not unfashionable to walk and run, and where it is not considered a gross violation of good breeding to sport and play with activity and vigour. Such girls acquire energy of system, each organ is developed, the blood is abundant and of excellent quality, nutrition is healthy, and puberty is obtained without difficulty."* 304.
