Pagina 37 - It is with regret that we have to record the death of Sir Samuel Cunard, whose name was so well known in connection with the Cunard line of steamers. We were present for a short time at Christies' rooms on the first day's sale of poor John Leech's sketches, which realized enormous prices.
Pagina 34 - If, therefore, in passing your hand into the uterus, you insinuate it as you ought to do, along the anterior surface of the thorax and abdomen of the child, you come in contact with both knees at the same time. And the rule which I would give you is this, that instead of hooking your finger, or fingers, into the flexure of the lower or nearer knee, you hook them instead into the flexure of the upper, more distant, or opposite one. Both are so far, in general, equally near, or equally distant, and...
Pagina 27 - In few or no cases of turning is it proper or requisite to bring down both extremities, unless in the complication of turning under rupture of the uterus. In that case, but in that only, ought we to follow at once this procedure — and here we follow it because, if we left the other extremity loose in the uterus or abdomen it would be apt to increase the lesion in the walls of the organ, if it happened to get involved in the aperture, or impacted against its edges. In some very rare instances in...
Pagina 68 - The internal surface of the stomach, to nearly its whole extent, was a mass of cancerous disease or schirrous portions advancing to cancer; this was particularly noticed near the pylorus. The cardiac extremity, for a small space near the termination of the oesophagus, was the only part appearing in a healthy state.
Pagina 34 - OB uteri, the presenting part of the infant. I have insisted upon the advantages of taking hold of the knee that is highest and furthest from you, and believe this to be a matter of the very first moment. Now, it may appear to some of you that it would be more difficult to seize this knee than the knee of the side corresponding to the presenting arm ; but if you reflect for a moment you will see that this difficulty is more imaginary than real.
Pagina 108 - Oct., 1846, an operation was performed at the hospital, upon a patient who had inhaled a preparation administered by Dr. Morton, a dentist of this city, with the alleged intention of producing insensibility to pain. Dr. Morton was understood to have extracted teeth under similar circumstances, without the knowledge of the patient. The present operation was performed by Dr. Warren, and though comparatively slight, involved an incision near the lower jaw of some inches in extent. During the operation...
Pagina 112 - If paper is soaked for one minute in such an acid, and afterwards washed with water, it is found to shrivel up a little, and become nearly as tough as parchment, and, when dried, to be remarkably inflammable, catching fire at so low a temperature as 356°, and burning without any nitrous odour, (Pelouze).
Pagina 28 - Under such circumstances, it is an object of importance not to be obliged to introduce our hand farther than is absolutely necessary, into the cavity of the uterus, because the contraction of the organ, in many cases, opposes its introduction, and the forced introduction of it is apt to produce laceration. It is an object also of equal moment to attempt to turn by a part which produces as little change as possible in the figure and form of the infant; because, if we thrust any of the angulated parts...
Pagina 67 - Upon opening the abdomen the omentum was found remarkably fat« and on exposing the stomach, that viscus was found the seat of extensive disease. Strong adhesions connected the whole superior surface, particularly about the pyloric extremity, to the concave surface of the left lobe of the liver; and on separating these, an ulcer, which penetrated the coats of the stomach, was discovered one inch from the pylorus, sufficient to allow the passage of the little finger.
Pagina 72 - ... in which it was contained, should describe every particular respecting the note — such as its number, its date, the bank at which it was payable, &.c., and who should read three English words, plainly written on a slip of paper, which was contained in the same envelop with the note,
