Стр. 158 - ARCHIVES OF MEDICINE: A Record of Practical Observations and Anatomical and Chemical Researches, connected with the Investigation and Treatment of Disease.
Стр. 155 - HOW TO WORK WITH THE MICROSCOPE. Fourth Edition, containing 400 Illustrations, many of them colored. Octavo. Price This work is a complete manual of microscopical manipulation, and contains a full description of many new processes of investigation, with directions for examining objects under the highest powers, and for taking photographs of microscopic objects.
Стр. 64 - GERMS. 155 of bioplasm of the blood from which they differ so remarkably in power. Of the conditions under which these germs are produced, and of the manner in which the rapidly-multiplying matter acquires its new and marvellous specific powers, we have very much yet to learn. Those who have committed themselves to physical views of life, undisturbed by the signal failure of all their attempts to demonstrate facts in favour of their hypothesis, must needs resort to the wretched expedient of suggesting...

Стр. 52 - ... unfortunately happen from a dissection-wound in the course of making a post-mortem examination, terrible inflammation may be excited in the person inoculated. The most tiny morsel of this virulent, rapidly-multiplying morbid bioplasm, may give rise to a dreadful form of "blood-poisoning," which may end fatally and in a very short time.
Стр. 42 - ... cells or corpuscles which are so familiar to all who have studied morbid changes in the tissues as they occur in man and the higher animals. " Some of these active living particles may be so small as to be invisible by a power magnifying 5,000 diameters.
Стр. xiv - ... potentially" cannot make it more correct. All we know is that such and such structures will result, but we know this from previous experience, not from reasoning. For the characters and composition of the living matter do not enable us to premise anything whatever concerning its formative properties. In the formation of man and the higher vertebrata the primary mass of bioplasm or living matter absorbs nutriment, and grows, and then divides and subdivides into numerous masses which are arranged...
Стр. 52 - Chaveau showed that the active particles subsided after forty-eight hours, and that no effects were produced by inoculating the albuminous supernatant fluid, while the full effects were produced by vaccinating with the deposit. As would be supposed from the excessive minuteness of these bodies, they are not to be separated by ordinary filtration, but if the fluid containing them also contains a trace of coagulable fibrin diffused through it, this by contraction after coagulation would filter off...
Стр. 52 - I think they consist of a peculiar kind of living matter, the smallest particle of which, when supplied with its proper pabulum, will grow and multiply, giving rise to millions of little particles like itself, each having similar properties and powers
Стр. 52 - I should be no more inclined, in the absence of the most positive evidence to the contrary, to regard the fluid portion of the vaccine lymph as the active material, than I should be to assume that the fluid in which the spermatozoa were suspended was the fertilizing agent, and that the spermatozoa themselves were merely epithelial debris, and quite unimportant; or to infer that the fluid in which the yeast fungi or bacteria were growing was the active agent in exciting fermentation, while the actually...
