Page 6 - We may perhaps define the term temperament as applicable to the sum of the physical peculiarities of an individual, exclusive of all definite tendencies to disease.
Page 593 - The state in question may still be possibly in no way symptomatic of other disorder, and not in any degree consequent on it, but rather part of the general disease. Above all we must be on our guard against believing that the state of the tongue is a trustworthy criterion as to that of the mucous membrane of the stomach, and remember that for the most part a furred tongue implies that no food has been eaten and little more, whilst glossitis and gastritis are conditions which are mutually independent,...
Page 383 - Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us ; and to the hills, Cover us. For if they do these things in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry ? And there were also two others, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.
Page 7 - ... aggravation, or, in some cases, of cure, in after-life. Such alternations are not possible in the constitutional peculiarities which we name as temperament. Concerning the term Idiosyncrasy, I will not say more in the way of definition than that it is applicable to any definite peculiarity of organisation of which the consequences may occur unexpectedly and otherwise inexplicably. It does not, like diathesis, imply any special proneness to disease, only that under certain well-known circumstances...
Page 265 - Its symptoms, its differential diagnosis, and the. ravages which are its immediate or remote results, are hardly recognized or understood, and the treatment of it, as ordinarily practised, is contemptible. Yet the virus of this disorder gives rise to a group of diseases, a series of pathological conditions, which, by reason of their clinical interest and their social and moral consequences, surpass in importance any other class of affections with which the gynaecologist is called upon to deal.
Page 338 - In the female the urcthral form never occurs without other portions of the genital tract becoming involved, but the converse proposition is not true ; the uterus may be affected, and the most serious complications may develop in the pelvis, without the patient ever having noticed any discomfort in micturition...
Page 60 - If the reply to this question be in the affirmative — if we see reason for believing that those who become our patients do really differ one from another in respect to definite tendencies, which are of prolonged duration and upon the knowledge of which we can conveniently base not only our prognosis but our treatment, it will next be our duty to examine as to the real nature of those states and the laws under which they came into being and continue to exist. I have dismissed the consideration of...
Page 289 - I am against the various forms of deceit which are strown in the path of the observer ; yet I confidently maintain the following proposition : Gonorrhoea often arises from intercourse with women who themselves have not the disease. Any one who studies gonorrhoea without preconceived notions, is forced to admit that it often originates from the same causes that give rise to inflammation of other mucous membranes."1 The "preconceived notions" that Ricord here speaks of, have been the greatest obstacle...
Page 35 - ... etc., are sometimes with confidence alleged as consequences of its excessive use. But the cases which are of most interest in connection with our present subject are those in which without any excess and in persons who have been for long thoroughly habituated, tobacco suddenly begins to act as a poison without causing any distaste or any conspicuous derangement. These patients are often quite unaware of what it is which is hurting them. They lose appetite and become nervous, and amongst the most...
Page 349 - ... be mentioned. The state of health just described is characteristic of gonorrhoeal infection, and it is reached either through a more or less acute attack subsiding into the chronic form, or by the gradual development of the creeping form of gonorrhoeal invasion, in which an acute stage either does not exist or altogether evades observation.
