Pàgina 26 - Fame is the spur that the clear spirit doth raise (That last infirmity of noble mind) To scorn delights and live laborious days; But the fair guerdon when we hope to find, And think to burst out into sudden blaze, Comes the blind Fury with the abhorred shears, And slits the thin-spun life. "But not the praise...
Pàgina 73 - ON LONG, SHORT, AND WEAK SIGHT, and their Treatment by the Scientific Use of Spectacles.
Pàgina 116 - The inner tube for delivering the ether runs upwards nearly to the extremity of the outer tube. Now, when the bellows are worked, a double current of air is produced ; one current descending and pressing upon the ether, forcing it along the inner tube, and the other ascending through the outer tube, and playing upon the column of ether as it escapes through the fine jet. By having a series of jets to fit on the lower part of the inner tube, the volume of ether can be moderated at pleasure ; and,...
Pàgina 39 - The tool, as exhibited hi the drawing, is about one-half the size of that I am using at present. • [Since the above was in type, we have received a letter from the writer, in which he ingenuously states that he has been informed, since transmitting it, that a tool precisely similar in principle, called the Expanding Centre Bit, is already known to mechanics. As we have no doubt, however, that the present invention was an original one with him, and as it possesses...

He therefore gave notice that...

Pàgina 45 - The animals had apparently at this time no inclination for food, or, at all events, they were unable to satisfy their hunger. Their sufferings seemed to be greatest on the fifth and sixth days, when there was considerable fever, and pustules made their appearance all over the body, especially on the abdomen, which terminated in ulceration, the hair falling off wherever a pustule had run its course. The mouth and fauces appeared to be the principal seat of the disease, being in some instances one...
Pàgina 168 - The preceding observations appear to the author to afford considerable evidence that spasmodic contraction is a very different thing quoad innervation from voluntary, and is a morbid mode of action related to paralysis, much in the same way as neuralgia is to anaesthesia. It is, of course, impossible to state in what respect the molecular condition of a nerve-cell which gives rise to a spasm differs from that which gives rise to paralysis. The constituents of the living tissues are not accessible...
Pàgina 86 - There are plenty of facts which suggest that lesions of nerves not necessarily painful may become so from causes originally by no means local. Thus I believe there are hundreds of people walking about London this minute, the diseased nerves of whose carious teeth would be speedily roused into severe neuralgia by two or three nights of sleepless watching, and anxiety, or by two or three days of insufficient nourishment, or of violent and exhausting exertion of mind or body. And conversely I am sure...
Pàgina 52 - In reading the works of Grant, Speke, and Burton, he observed many words which were identical with, and which closely resembled words used in the district he had traversed, and he had no doubt that the tribes of western and eastern Africa had formed originally one common stock. He had seen during his travels numbers of gorillas, and he saw nothing after his renewed experience to retract in the account he had already given of those animals.
