Stran 67 - All sheep and oxen : yea, and the beasts of the field ; The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea : and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas.
Stran 298 - Brodie, a celebrated English physician, applied a single drop of this oil to the tongue of a cat, upon which bodily prostration and convulsions ensued. Another drop was applied, and the animal died in two minutes. One drop injected into the rectum of a cat, occasioned death in about five minutes; and two drops administered in the same manner to a dog was followed by the same result. Dr. Franklin applied the oily material which floats on the surface of water, when a current of tobacco smoke is passed...
Stran 177 - ... their teacher and all that comes from him. Inadvertency, forgetfulness, unsteadiness and wandering of thought are the natural faults of childhood, and therefore, where they are not observed to be wilful, are to be mentioned softly and gained upon by time.
Stran 296 - A total attenuation of body, a withered, yellow countenance, a lame gait, a bending of the spine, frequently to such a degree as to assume a circular form, and glossy, deep-sunken eyes, betray him at the first glance.

Stran 161 - The only cases," continues Dr. M., " in which a moderate portion of malt liquor is justifiable, are when the milk is deficient, and the nurse averse or unable to put another in her place. Here, of two evils, we choose the least, and rather give the infant milk of an inferior quality, than endanger its health by weaning it prematurely, or stinting it of its accustomed nourishment."* Now upon this the writer would remark...
Stran 327 - The intoxicating ingredient in all wines is the alcohol they contain and hence their relative strength depends upon the quantity of that substance entering into their composition. The alcohol, however, naturally in wine, is so blended with the other constituents as to be in a modified state, which renders it less intoxicating and injurious than the same quantity of alcohol separated by distillation and diluted with water.
Stran 161 - Considering, then, that lactation (unlike pregnancy) may be put an end to at any period, should it prove injurious to the mother, the writer is disposed to give his full assent to the dictum of Dr. Macnish ; that if a woman cannot afford the necessary supply without these indulgences, she should give over the infant to some one who can, and drop nursing altogether.' — 'The only cases,
Stran 164 - I am convinced that the attempt to bring up children by hand proves fatal in London to at least seven out of eight of these miserable sufferers; and this happens whether the child has never taken the breast at all, or, having been suckled for three or four weeks only, is then weaned. In the country the mortality among dry-nursed children is not quite so great as in London, but it is abundantly greater than is generally imagined.
Stran 160 - ... properties of her milk; so far from producing these effects, such drinks, when taken in any quantity, invariably disturb more or less the health of the stomach, and tend to impair the quality, and diminish the quantity of the nourishment, furnished by her to the infant.
