Side 182 - She next the stately Bull implored; And thus replied the mighty lord. "Since every beast alive can tell That I sincerely wish you well, I may, without offence, pretend, To take the freedom of a friend; Love calls me hence; a...
Side 467 - I have never witnessed a separation of one vertebra from another through the intervertebral substance, without fracture of the articular processes ; or, if those processes remain unbroken, without a fracture through the bodies of the vertebrae.
Side 459 - The only movements permitted in the phalangeal joints are flexion and extension ; these movements are more extensive between the first and second phalanges than between the second and third. The movement of flexion is very considerable, but extension is limited by the anterior and lateral ligaments.
Side 295 - It is right, therefore, that those who are studying their profession should be aware that there is no short road to knowledge ; that observations on the diseased living, examinations of the dead, and experiments upon living animals, are the only sources of true knowledge ; and that deductions...
Side 383 - The os calcis and the astragalus remained in their natural situations, but the fore part of the foot was turned inwards upon the bones. When examined by the students, the appearance was so precisely like that of a club foot, that they could not at first believe that it was not a natural defect of that kind...
Side 432 - The patient is made to sit down upon a chair, and the surgeon, placing his knee on the inner side of the elbow-joint, in the bend of the arm, takes hold of the patient's wrist, and bends the arm.

Sometimes one arm is much more affected than the other when the fracture is oblique, and the axillary plexus of nerves is, in consequence, partially influenced. Respiration in these cases is difficult, and is performed wholly by the diaphragm, the power of the intercostal muscles being destroyed by the accident...
Side 321 - The fact that she had walked both before and since her admission into the hospital, gave rise to some doubts as to the existence of a fracture, and the closest examination of the trochanter and body of the femur could not detect the slightest crepitus or displacement of bone.
Side 312 - I should, if I sustained this accident in my own person, direct, that a pillow should ~be placed under the limb throughout its length ; that another should be rolled up under the knee, and that the limb should be thus extended until the inflammation and pain had subsided. I should then daily rise and sit in a high chair, to prevent a degree of flexion which would be painful...
Side 303 - When the absorption of the neck proceeds faster than the deposit on the surface, the bone breaks from the slightest cause ; and this deposit wears so much the appearance of an united fracture, that it might be easily mistaken for it before the bone thus alters. We sometimes meet with a remarkable buttress shooting up from the shaft of the bone into its head, giving it additional support to that which it receives from the deposit of bone on its external surface.
