Strana 297 - I divers times observed to consist of five, six, seven or eight clear globules, without being able to discover any film that held them together or contained them. When these animalcula, or living atoms, did move they put forth two little horns, continually moving themselves; the place between these two horns was flat, though the rest of the body was roundish, sharpening a little towards the end, where they had a tayle...
Strana 297 - ... of the whole body, of the thickness (by my microscope) of a spider's web, at the end of which appeared a globule of the bigness of one of those which made up the body ; which tayle I could not perceive, even in very clear water, to be moved by them.

Strana 272 - Others shall sing the song, Others shall right the wrong, — Finish what I begin, And all I fail of win. What matter, I or they? Mine or another's day, So the right word be said And life the sweeter made?

Strana 23 - ... various privies. For them, so long as they are friendly, all things are common, — dirt, dinners and privies ; and, to illustrate exactly how secondary infection may go on, I may describe in detail one case which I personally witnessed. A -whole family (of six or more) was in one room. Four of them had -the " fever." Two of these were children in the prodromal stage. A table stood by the window covered with food, prominent among which was a big piece of cake. It was early September, and a very...
Strana 91 - Although the hypothesis of a pellagrous virus has had a place in the •discussions of the last century, and has even appeared in divers authors of our own time, it has seemed to me useless to try to refute it. It can be said of the contagion of pellagra that it is a question fully determined * * * pellagra is not contagious.
