Seite 281 - ... learn it so as to retain it, and afterwards use it. He kept a slate, on which the words he required most were written, and to this he referred when he wished to express himself. He gradually learned these words ' and extended his vocabulary, so that after a time he was able to dispense with his slate.
Seite 211 - The disease consists in some change in the kidney by which fibrin, albumen, blood-globules and salts are allowed to pass out, whenever the circulation through the kidney is increased; and if at the same time fat is present in the blood, it escapes also into the urine. That this change of structure is not visible to the naked eye on post-mortem examination, Dr. Prout long since demonstrated ; and in a case of this disease which was in St. George's Hospital, and was examined at Plymouth, no disease...

Seite 213 - ... rather increased than diminished by such doses, repeated the experiments with carbonate of ammonia, hoping to obtain more decided results. Although, from these experiments, it was again apparent that no diminution of the acid reaction resulted from taking carbonate of ammonia, yet the fact of any great increase in the acidity of the urine could not be determined. In his former paper, the author suggested that an inquiry into the occurrence of nitric acid in the urine would probably give the solution...
Seite 212 - ... and leaves behind a brown extract, possessing a delicate odour of roasted meat; this extract, when dissolved in about thirty parts of water, and flavoured with salt, yields, at any moment, a most excellent broth. The advantage of extract of flesh for the nutrition of invalids, its use in hospitals, or in field service, as well as in domestic economy, is sufficiently obvious. We see, likewise, that bonebroth, broth-tablets, &c., being preparations essentially different from a true broth from flesh,...
