Page 178 - It appears as if the posterior molar or wisdom-teeth were tending to become rudimentary in the more civilised races of man. These teeth are rather smaller than the other molars, as is likewise the case with the corresponding teeth in the chimpanzee and orang; and they have only two separate fangs.

Page 107 - What is the nature of the irritable uterus ? " inquires Dr. Gooch. " It is not acute inflammation ; for that would run a far shorter course, and end in certain known consequences. It is not chronic inflammation; for that is a disorganizing process, and slowly, but surely alters the structure of the organ in which it goes on. Both in chronic inflammation, and in the disease which I am describing, there is a morbid state of the nerves, indicated by pain, and, sometimes at least, a morbid state of the...
Page 129 - That affections are occasionally met with presenting all the marks of the hysteric character, and perfectly resembling cases described as those of spinal irritation, but unattended by spinal tenderness or any other direct indication of a morbid state of the cord.
Page 110 - ... These dissections prove that the human uterus possesses a great system of nerves, which enlarges with the coats, bloodvessels, and absorbents, during pregnancy, and which returns after parturition to its original condition before conception takes place. It is chiefly by the influence of these nerves that the uterus performs the varied functions of menstruation, conception, and parturition, and it is solely by their means that the whole fabric of the nervous system sympathises with the different...
Page 178 - In the Melanian races, on the other hand, the wisdom-teeth are usually furnished with three separate fangs, and are generally sound; they also differ from the other molars in size less than in the Caucasian races. Prof. Schaffhausen accounts for this difference between the races by "the posterior dental portion of the jaw being always shortened...
Page 107 - The disease," says Mr. Brodie, " appears to depend on a morbid condition of the nerves, and may be regarded as a local hysteric affection. These painful states of the breast and of the joints appear to be similar to that which I have been describing in the uterus ; similar in kinds of constitutions which they attack ; similar in pain, in exquisite tenderness, in resemblance to the commencement of organic disease, and in proving ultimately to be only diseases of function.
