Página 93 - Dr. Simpson's first perception was mental. ' This is far stronger and better than ether,' said he to himself. His second was to note that he was prostrate on the floor, and that among the friends about him there was both confusion and alarm.
Página 155 - I will only add, there is good reason for the belief, that its action is the same upon all living things, vegetables as well as animals. It is even just as fatal to the snake itself as to other animals ; for Dr. Dearing informed me, that one of his specimens, after being irritated and annoyed in its cage, in moving suddenly accidentally struck one of its fangs into its own body ; it soon rolled over and died, as any other animal would have done. Here, then, we have the remarkable, and perhaps unique...
Página 156 - The smallest quantity of the poison being presented to the blood between the glasses, a change was immediately perceived — the corpuscles ceased to run and pile together, and remained stagnant without any special alteration of structure ; the whole appearance was as though the vitality of the blood had been suddenly destroyed, exactly as in death from lightning. This agrees, also, with another experiment performed on a fowl where the whole mass of the blood appeared quite liquid, and having little...
Página 93 - ... saucer, or some such vessel, about a teaspoonful of the respirable substance was put in the bottom of it ; and this again was placed in hot water, if the substance happened to be .not very volatile. Holding the mouth and nostrils over the vessel's orifice, inhalation was proceeded with, slowly and deliberately ; all inhaling at the same time, and each noting the effects as they advanced.
Página 155 - Dearing informed me that one of his specimens, after being irritated and annoyed in its cage, in moving suddenly accidentally struck one of its fangs into its own body ; it soon rolled over and died as any other animal would have done. Here, then, we have the remarkable, and perhaps unique physiological fact, of a liquid secreted directly from the blood, which proves deadly when introduced into the very source (the blood) from which it was derived ! With the view of ascertaining the power and amount...
Página 88 - Jura; and the air ozonized by phosphorus for experiment, gives forth a similar smell to that perceived amidst storms in mountainous regions. It is very probable, that in certain localities, the balance between the ozone and the miasmata does not prevail, and disease may be the consequence. As a general rule, however, numerous experiments have shown that the air contains free ozone (though in very different proportions), so that no free oxidizable miasmata can there exist.
Página 155 - ... resuscitate ; in this state a second person held his tail to prevent his coiling around the arm of the first, while a third opened his mouth, and with a pair of forceps pressed the fang upward, causing a flow of the poison, which was received on the end of a scalpel.
Página 22 - It having been ascertained that these tubes are obstructed, is it desirable to attempt to open them by means of the catheter? Believing that obstruction in the Eustachian tubes generally depends upon a thickened state of the mucous membrane covering the guttural orifice, and that this state is always associated with a thickened condition of the faucial mucous membrane and of the mucous membrane of the tympanum, the author suggests, especially to those inexperienced in the use of the catheter, not...
Página 88 - ... of ozone can disinfect an equal volume of air so corrupted. Such experiments show how little appreciable by weight miasmata may be, which are yet sensible to the smell, and how small is the proportion of ozone necessary for the destruction of all the miasmata produced by the putrefaction of organic matter, and diffused in the atmosphere.
Página 88 - The quantity which prevails in the atmosphere is very variable, being proportionate to the amount of electricity, and therefore at its maximum in winter, and its minimum in summer. It is, however, highly probable that, when existing only in minute quantities, it exerts a purifying effect on the atmosphere by destroying various deleterious miasmata. There are a great number of inorganic gaseous bodies, which...
