Seite 615 - Little improvement can be expected in morality, until the producing of large families is regarded with the same feelings as drunkenness or any other physical excess.
Seite 132 - ... by night being yellow, injures the neutrality of the eye and falsifies all artificial colours. It was with the idea of getting over these difficulties that Secchi proposed to make use of an electric spark, which, if derived from different substances, would give for each of them a different hue, but I am not aware that any attempt has ever been made to put this idea into practice. Single stars of a red or orange hue are not uncommon, but isolated blue or green stars are very rare. Indeed, (3 Libras...
Seite 306 - Quarantine and Sanitary Operations of the Board of Health of the State of Louisiana, During 1880, 1881, 1882 and 1883, by Joseph Jones, MD, President of the Board of Health of the State of Louisiana.

Seite 379 - The fumes of nitrous acid that so long had fame for disinfecting purposes in the barracks, hospitals, and navy of Great Britain, may be readily produced by heating a mixture of nitrate of potassa and sulphuric acid in an iron or porcelain dish. Persons who resort to this method of fumigation, should bear in mind the fact that strong fumes of nitrous acid are dangerously irritating to the throat and lungs. These fuming acids are powerful oxidizers, but their avidity for water, together with their...

It may, perhaps, not be out of place to give a short description of this affection, which, while it may not claim the honor of being a distinct disease,...
Seite 337 - The following morning a messenger came in a gondola to conduct me to the new lazaretto. I was placed, with my baggage, in a boat fastened by a cord ten feet long to another boat in which were six rowers. When I came near the landing-place, the cord was loosed, and my boat was pushed with a pole to the shore, where a person met me, who said he had been ordered by the magistrates to be my guard. Soon after unloading the boat, the sub-prior came and...
Seite 169 - Robinson, the president, asked why, if vaccinia depended on micro-organisms, which multiply so rapidly, more than one point of inoculation was necessary ? Dr. Welch, in closing, said he had been skeptical in regard to the necessity for multiple inoculations, and believed one typical cicatrix gave as good protection as many. Animal virus, or virus of recent humanization, gives a more durable protection. That of long liumanization produces a more superficial scar, and deaths were more frequent in those...
Seite 573 - ... spores. This being the case, it is advisable, in practical disinfection, always to use an agent which has the power of destroying spores, in those cases in which the exact nature of the disease germ has not been demonstrated. The cholera germ of Koch does not form spores; and there is good reason to believe that the same is true as regards the germs of yellow fever, of scarlet fever, and of smallpox, which have not yet been demonstrated. This inference is based upon evidence obtained in the practical...
Seite 332 - Experiments upon septic and antiseptic substances, with remarks relating to their use in the theory of medicine;" and many of his papers after this period appear in the transactions of that body.
