Page 126 - In twelve hours [after the infliction of a gunshot wound of a limb] the inflammation, pain, and tension of the whole limb, the inflamed countenance, the brilliant eye, the sleepless and restless condition, declare the impression the injury is making on the limb and on the constitutional powers. In six days the limb from the groin to the toe, or from the shoulder to the finger, is swollen to half the size of the body ; a violent phlegmonous inflammation pervades the whole ; serous effusion has taken...
Page 332 - The3f may occur at any period of life, from the earliest infancy to old age. I have opened a very large abscess in the axilla of a child about a fortnight old. Their size varies from that of a pin's point to a tumor containing a pint or more of pus. In some cases, when very large, they are...
Page 267 - Those individuals suffering from a preternaturally irritable brain, frequently die suddenly in the course of a few months, or a year or two, after the receipt of the injury. In other cases the recovery continues to be incomplete, although the patient may be...
Page 415 - ... followed by constitutional symptoms, and on the character that these assume under one or other of these methods, than on the mere skinning over of the ulcer. I cannot agree with the statement that secondary symptoms are less frequent after the simple than after the mercurial treatment of syphilis. I have seen the non-mercurial plan, of treatment very extensively employed at the University College Hospital ; indeed it was formerly almost invariably practised there, more particularly in the syphilitic...
Page 277 - Ears after an injury of the head cannot by itself be considered a sign of much importance, as it may arise from any violence by which the tympanum is ruptured, without the skull being necessarily fractured. If, however, the hemorrhage be considerable, trickling slowly out of the...
Page 338 - ... garnished with winged leaves, composed of ten or more pair of small lobes, sitting close to the midrib, of a lucid green colour. The flowers come out from the sides of the young branches, in form of katkins, of an herbaceous colour, and are succeeded by crooked, compressed pods, from nine or ten to sixteen or eighteen inches in length, and about an inch and a half or two inches in breadth, of which near onehalf is filled with a sweet pulp, the other containing many seeds in separate cells. The...
Page 395 - ... operation ; and that I have the satisfaction of knowing several persons on whom I have performed the operation under these circumstances, who are now alive and well, and who otherwise would certainly have been dead long ago. So long since as 1832, I removed a breast affected with a scirrhous tumor, and the lady is still in good health, — at least she was so last year. Since the operation she has married and had children. Last year I was called to see a lady on account of another complaint,...
Page 36 - Inflammation is a purely physiological and pathological study ; and, however interesting its investigation may be, yet, as the discussion of this subject belongs rather to the domain of General Pathology than to that of Practical Surgery, it cannot consistently be entered upon here otherwise than in mere outline.
Page 283 - ... of the lower jaw on one side to the centre of the frontal bone above, near the sagittal suture, where the missile emerged; and the iron thus forcibly thrown into the air was picked up at a distance of some rods from the patient, smeared with brains and blood. From this extraordinary lesion, the patient has quite recovered in his faculties of body and mind, with the loss only of the sight of the injured eye.
Page 652 - This form of ranula,' the ordinary form, ' is usually said to be a dilatation of Wharton's duct; but there is no proof of the disease being of this nature, nor is it very easy to understand how so small a duct can be dilated to so large a size as is occasionally attained by these tumours...
