Seite 72 - ... intermitting pulse, occasional vomiting, a pale contracted countenance, a sense of coldness ; but the tongue is seldom furred, nor are the vital or natural functions much disordered.
Seite 74 - ... course which these take, when not interfered with by any stimulant or caustic application, and when treated only with some mild ointment or cold water. If under these circumstances we find that after eight or ten days such ulcers show no disposition to heal, and if, at the same time there be a total absence of any cause, such as defect in the general health, to account for this obstinate condition of the local disease, we may then pronounce them to be syphilitic.
Seite 22 - ... spreading pustules were dispersed round it and gradually spread over the breast, and, where the poison remained uncorrected, produced ulcers. The pudenda soon after became inflamed, with a violent itching, which terminated in chancres that were attended with only a. small discharge ; and, in a short time after, pustules were spread over the whole body. It finished this course, -with all these symptoms, in the space of three months. The disorder made a quick and rapid progress in those who first...
Seite 275 - It is a curious fact, that I have never witnessed nor ever heard of an instance in which a child deriving the infection of syphilis from its parents has caused an ulceration in the breast of its mother.
Seite 39 - ... alarming, or whether they may be merely the natural effects of the mercurial action ; this, however, is not the only instance which the practice of surgery presents, in which accurate observation, discrimination, and judgment are required to practise the profession with safety and success ; these are qualifications which can only be attained by long and attentive experience ; no precise rules, therefore, can be laid down to guide the surgeon at this critical juncture, neither can any words impart...
Seite 311 - ... specific for the cure of intermittent fever ; and it will, if judiciously administered, succeed in a great majority of cases of this disease ; but still all must allow, that this specific may not only not cure, but may aggravate this disease, and even induce others of a more dangerous nature — if, for instance, it be given when the stomach and bowels are loaded ; the same unfortunate result will also follow its use, if it be given at an improper period, ex. gr. during the paroxysm. Or, again,...
Seite 94 - ... of his mistake until the ulceration has actually laid open the fore-part of the urethra, or has extended forwards to its orifice, so as to become visible. A very little attention will enable us to discover the real nature of this case, even in its earliest stages; for we can externally feel a hardness in that spot of the urethra where the chancre is seated, and the symptoms of...
Seite 37 - I as confidently affirm that, within the last twenty years, the same medicine, when employed in underdoses, or rather when it has not been pushed so as to induce its legitimate action, has been productive of infinitely more mischief; and I feel confident that this position could be supported both by professional as well as non-professional persons, were the effects of the latter practice as obvious and striking as are those of the former; but they cannot be so fully appreciated by the ignorant, and...
Seite 91 - We sometimes see the edge of the prepuce beset with five or six circular ulcers ; these, if left to themselves, will first granulate, then become fungous, and finally will heal spontaneously. The form, as well as the slow and indolent character, of these ulcers, might dispose us to conceive that they were syphilitic ; the appearance, however, of several of these at once, along the margin of the prepuce, and their being destitute of any hardness, will serve as a criterion whereby we may make the distinction....
Seite 20 - ... infection of this nature in their circumstances. The husbands of several had chancres, which quickly communicated the poison and produced ulcers in the mouth, and red spreading pustules on the body; but such of them escaped who had timely notice of the nature of the disease, before the pudenda were affected. Some infants received it from their mothers, and to the greatest part of them it was fatal. " When I first mentioned my opinion of this disorder to the midwife of a person whom I visited,...
