Seite 95 - Aug. llth. Symptoms have all disappeared but the cardiac murmurs. Discharged cured. In concluding the course of lectures which have fallen to my lot, I beg to thank you for your attendance and for the patience with which you have listened to what I have had to say. I wish, however, again to impress upon those of my audience who have not put homoeopathy practically to the test, that it cannot be practised upon what are called general principles ; the practice of...
Seite 40 - ... pneumonia, which, I assume, are perfectly familiar to most of those I am addressing. I will content myself by quoting from Dr. Wilson Fox a general definition of the disease, which more clearly and succinctly expresses the general character of the disease than any description I have met with. Definition. " A disease whose essential anatomical feature consists in the inflammation of the vesicular structure of the lungs, which is thereby rendered impervious to air through the accumulation in the...
Seite 45 - ... plenitude ;" and ends by remarking " that several weeks will often be required for the complete disappearance of the signs of engorgement of the lung." Trousseau's remarks on the expectant treatment are well worthy of attention. He says : " Are we obliged to conclude that the treatment of pneumonia ought to be expectant, because recovery takes place spontaneously in a certain number of cases ? I think not; and moreover, when I find myself confronted with this disease, I cannot remain an inactive...
Seite 59 - ... is produced in animals comparable to the acute catarrhal pneumonia in man. 2. That the first stage in this process consists in an active proliferation of the epithelial cells lining the alveoli, which become detached from the walls of the alveoli, increase in size, become more granular, and show multiplication of their nuclei, and thus give rise to new cells. The small cells with the hyaline neucleolus above described are probably the young cells so formed.

Seite 19 - Watson, and others, draw a broad line of distinction between catarrhal laryngitis and true croup, restricting the name to a complication of diphtheria ; whereas Niemeyer and Sir William Jenner adhere to, what I venture to think, the sounder view — that acute laryngitis in the child does not essentially differ from true croup, but that, under certain conditions, the morbid process may become diphtheritic. Niemeyer's lucid definition is of such great practical value that, I think, I need not apologise...
Seite 28 - I shall arrange their symptoms in pairs of opposite characters, distinguishing the affections by the names of primary and secondary croup. PRIMARY CROUP. 1. The air passages primarily engaged. 2. The fever symptomatic of the local disease. 3. The fever inflammatory. 4. Necessity for antiphlogistic treatment, and the frequent success of such treatment. 5. The disease sporadic, and in certain situations endemic, but never contagious. 6.
Seite 88 - ... heart, causing syncope, and in such cases myocarditis from extension of the inflammation into the substance of the heart has taken place. With regard to the stethoscopic signs of pericarditis, I cannot do better than quote Dr. Stoke's summary from his work on Diseases of the Heart and Aorta. " 1. That in cases of pericarditis with effusion of lymph, the rubbing of the two roughened surfaces causes sounds perceptible to the ear and vibrations communicable to the hand by which the diseases can...
Seite xi - ... half-truth. I presume to think that the two halves make the whole truth, and that this will meet with your hearty acceptance. The other half-truth then is this :—the action of small doses of drugs is in the opposite direction to the action of large doses. Therefore the law of Hahnemann, similia similibus curantur, remains true when limited to large doses ; and the law of Galen, contraria contrariis curantur, is true when limited to the action of small doses...
Seite 47 - ... homoeopathic method, and that its success is due to some other cause than that which favours the expectant plan — a cause calculated to produce still happier results. This truth is illustrated by the — duration of the disease under the different plans of treatment. The duration of the disease ought to be computed from the first symptoms of the inflammatory fever to the cessation of the local physical signs, or complete resolution of the hepatization. And it is thus...
