At the same time, however, that I hold the speculum to be in many cases of most essential service, I think that the endeavor of all of us should be to ascertain the minimum of frequency with which its employment is necessary. This is to be done not by decrying the instrument, still less by attributing dishonest motives to those who use it, but by soberly and honestly trying to test the value of the information which we derive from it, and learning to discriminate between those appearances...

This circumstance I regard as important to a right appreciation of the difficulty. Motion, alone, I am fully convinced, does not so often prevent union as surgeons have generally believed. It is exceedingly rare to see a case of nonunion of the clavicle. Of forty-seven cases of fracture of the clavicle which...
Página 95 - I believe you will not fail to recognize the difference in the motion between the two cases. Such, gentlemen, is the explanation which I wish to offer for the relative frequency of this very serious accident — non-union of the humerus. I know of no other circumstance or condition in which this bone is peculiar, and which therefore might be invoked as an explanation.

But perhaps the greatest interest attaches to the story of the little Beach plum. In its wild state this is not much sought; for its fruit varies from the size of a large pea to that of a small hazelnut, and it is inedible unless cooked. Yet this little plum has some flavor; it makes jams and preserves of good quality.
Página 240 - I am clearly of opinion that we had better leave the disease to cure itself, as remedies, especially powerful ones, are more likely to do harm than good. In such cases the patient gets along better without medicine than with ; all that is required is to give him simple diluent drinks, a very small quantity of farinaceous food, and avoid, as much as possible, all causes of irritation.
Página 88 - Médicale, that, struck by the little solubility of chlorate of potash, he substituted chlorate of soda for it, as the latter salt is much more soluble than the former. The taste of the chlorate of soda is, besides, less disagreeable than that of the other salt, and can also be given in a small quantity of vehicle. M. de Mussy has given the chlorate of soda in several cases of diptheria with uniform success.
Página 95 - It is probable, gentlemen, that yon have made the same observation. " From this and many similar facts, I have been led to suspect, for a long time, that motion has had less to do with non-union than was generally believed. " I find, however, no difficulty in reconciling this suspicion with my doctrine in reference to the case in question; and it is precisely because, as I have already explained, the motion, in case of a fractured humérus, dressed in the usual manner, is peculiar.
