Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1877, Vol. 26 Concerning the causation of the diathesis, and the develop ment of the cachexia, a discussion at this juncture is unneces sary, as my analysis will bear directly on these two points. Dr. David Prince, of Illinois, has recently contributed some Considerations in Relation to Diseases of the Joints, and he speaks of a condition which may be inherited and perma nent, acquired and permanent, or acquired and temporary. Now, to that condition, as embodied in the definitions I have already given, I shall for convenience' sake apply the name strumous, and by the terms of my theme it will be seen that I recognize some such factor in the production of a large proportion at least of diseases of the joints. The two great theories to-day are traumatism and non traumatism, and each has warm advocates. Some contend that every case of joint-disease is local, and is produced directly by a fall or other injury; while others contend that falls have very little to do in the causation of such - that the disease is constitutional, and is purely strumous. Some even go so far as to affirm that joint-diseases are always tubercular. Now, it seems to me that there is an immense amount of logomachy crowded into the literature on this subject. To say that a certain disease is traumatic, means to one mind that a fall or injury was the only cause, and to another mind it means that other and more important conditions were present, while the fall served simply to develop the disease in a system al ready predisposed. My impression is that the most extreme' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1875, Vol. 21 The enumeration I have now given nearly completes the list of regions to which the bloodless method is applicable. It cannot be employed in operations on the trunk, or on the face and neck, where surgeons would gladly, if possible, avail themselves of its advantages. These advantages, as claimed by Esmarch, are as follow First, the prevention of a great loss of blood during the larger Operations. It is assumed that this economy of the vital fluid will sometimes be the direct means of saving life that it will render more certain and speedy the healing process, and di minish the frequency of septicaemia and pyaemia. The other principal 'advantage of the method is the facility with which it enables the surgeon to accomplish deep and difficult dis sections, the tissues not being obscured by blood. It is said also to permit the easy extraction of foreign bodies, and the thorough examination of diseased bones and joints, with the view of deciding upon the extent of Operation necessary in any given case.

Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1874, Vol. 20 Here is a result reached at the end of seven or eight years, by which this man's bladder is at last in the way of being regularly relieved without painful and damaging effort. I trust he will be saved from stone, although he did incur the danger of retention as I had foretold; for he can empty his bladder thoroughly now, and also wash it out with warm water at will, if necessary. But it is very clear to me, after observing his case through all these years, that if the patient had gone to work when he first applied to me for relief, and learned within the year to help himself with the catheter, he would have saved himself both time and torment, and that at this moment his bladder and kidneys would be in better con dition to serve him for the next ten years.

Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, 1876, Vol. 24 It has therefore been difficult in all cases to decide how much the modified appearances they present have been the result of altered action, or merely variations that belong to the natural life of the substance. The determination of what constitutes the normal condi tion is, then, a matter of the first importance, and it is in this direction that the present inquiries have been made. The present essay is designed to embody a series of experimental researches upon the general subject of connective substances, with the view of determining some of the more important facts that have been matters Of controversy.

Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, Vol. 1: April, 1865 Where the canal was narrowed by uniting the edges of an ellipse (formed by removing the mucous membrane from the: base of the bladder, ) a failure generally resulted, except when the vagina was short, as in advanced life.

Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, Vol. 19: January-June, 1874 Such is a general description of the different buildings required for the accommodation of the insane on the cottage plan. One of the principal objections urged against this plan is the cost - that it will exceed greatly, not only in the first cost of construction, but in the daily expense of carrying on an institution on this plan. We have been at some pains to procure estimates of the cost of the various buildings described above, and find them (upon the basis of five hundred patients) as follows, all con structed of brick.
