Strana 4 - On laying bare the roots of the spinal nerves, I found that I could cut across the posterior fasciculus of nerves, which took its origin from the posterior portion of the spinal marrow without convulsing the muscles of the back ; but that on touching the anterior fasciculus with the point of the knife, the muscles of the back were immediately convulsed.
Strana 4 - ... which took its origin from the posterior portion of the spinal marrow without convulsing the muscles of the back; but that on touching the anterior fasciculus with the point of the knife, the muscles of the back were immediately convulsed. Such were my reasons for concluding that the cerebrum and the cerebellum were parts distinct in function, and that every nerve possessing a double function obtained that by having a double root.
Strana 2 - In opposition to these opinions, I have to offer reasons for believing, That the cerebrum and cerebellum are different in function as in form ; That the parts of the cerebrum have different functions ; and that the nerves which we trace in the body are not single nerves possessing various powers, but bundles of different nerves, whose filaments are united for the convenience of distribution, but which are distinct in office, as they are in origin from...
Strana 219 - Tell me from whom, fat-headed Scot, Thou didst thy system learn? From Hippocrate thou hadst it not, Nor Celsus, nor Pitcairn. Suppose we own that milk is good, And say the same of grass; The one for babes is only food, The other for an ass. Doctor, one new prescription try (A friend's advice forgive), Eat grass, reduce thyself, and die. Thy patients then may live.
Strana 46 - He was so anxious to get well (he was shortly to be married) that he moistened the thread four times in six hours. At midnight. the effects had become so sharp that he was glad to remove the threads, as he had been directed. He remained at home one day only, and was shortly and permanently well. •' I venture to believe that no kind of hydrocele will resist this method of applying iodine, and, consequently, that the setting up of suppuration, • even as a last resort, can rarely be necessary.
Strana 202 - ... appearing to be connected with degrees of adaptation to different conditions of life. 5. Many allied species, constituting groups of animals and plants, have made their appearance at once in various parts of the earth, and these groups have obeyed the same laws with the individual and the species in culminating rapidly, and then slowly diminishing, though a large group once introduced has rarely disappeared together.
Strana 69 - ... centres ; and, secondarily, on the respiratory apparatus and the heart, the functions of the former ceasing before those of the latter. The motor nerves of the eye are attacked first; objects cannot be fixed, dodging their position ; the eyelids become...
Strana 3 - ... seat of the sensation, being the internal organs of sense. These organs are operated upon in two directions. They receive the impression from without, as from the eye and ear : and as their action influences the operations of the brain producing perception, so are they brought into action and suffer changes similar to that which they experience from external pressure by the operation of the will; or, as I am now treating of the subject anatomically, by the operation of the great mass of the brain...
Strana 4 - The spinal nerves being double, and having their roots in the spinal marrow, of which a portion comes from the cerebrum and a portion from the cerebellum, they convey the attributes of both grand divisions of the brain to every part; and therefore the distribution of such nerves is simple, one nerve supplying its destined part.
Strana 2 - ... at present. Of these, the Papillae of one kind form the seat of the sense of taste; the other Papillae (more numerous and smaller) resemble the extremities of the nerves in the common skin, and are the organs of touch in the tongue. When I take a sharp steel point and touch one of these Papillae, I feel the sharpness. The sense of touch informs me of the shape of the instrument. When I touch a Papilla of taste, I have no sensation similar to the former. I do not know that a point touches the...
