anginosa.

It is customary to locate esophageal lesions by denoting their distance from the incisor teeth. This is readily done by measuring the distance from the proximal end of the esophagoscope to the upper incisor teeth, or in their absence, to the upper ... Mechanical Effect Of Each Pole
The mechanical effect of the forward end of the current, or that part of it which is under the negative electrode, is to relax, expand and weaken; while that of the rear end, under the positive electrode, is to contract and strengthen. A moving ship... Mechanical Problems Of Bronchoscopic Foreign Body Extraction*
* For more extensive consideration of mechanical problems than is here possible the reader is referred to the Bibliography, page 311, especially reference numbers 1, 11, 37 and 56. The endoscopic extraction of a foreign body is a mechanical pr... Mechanical Problems Of Esophagoscopic Removal Of Foreign Bodies
The bronchoscopic problems considered in the previous chapter should be studied. The extraction of transfixed foreign bodies presents much the same problem as those in the bronchi, though there is no limit here to the distance an object may be pu... Mechanical Spoon
When soft, friable substances, such as a bolus of meat, become impacted in the upper esophagus, the short mechanical spoon (Fig. 30) used through the esophageal speculum is of great aid in their removal. The blade in this instrument, as the name sug... Medical Amulets

Metallo-therapy has been defined as a mode of treating various affections, chiefly those of a nervous character, by the external application of metals. It was recommended by Galen and other medical writers, but they attributed its curative powers ... Methods Of Obtaining Pure Water
Wise Planning and Spending of Money is Necessary. If our city wells are defiled by manure heaps and vault-privies, and our streams by sewage, where are we to turn for pure water? All that is required is foresight and a little intelligent planning an... Methods Of Treatment
Irritating applications probably provoke recurrences, because the growths are of inflammatory origin. Formerly laryngostomy was recommended as a last resort when all other means had failed. The excellent results from the method described in the for... Mild Reaction Erethic

Speaking of butter, how about milk? The dairy lobby is very powerful in North America. Its political clout and campaign contributions have the governments of both the United States and especially that of Canada eating out of its hand (literally), pr... Mind Training
IT will be plainly seen that this training of the body is at the same time a training of the mind, and indeed it is in essence a training of the will. For as we think of it carefully and analyze it to its fundamental principles, we realize t... Mineral Acids In Case Of Severe Sore-throat
In case the throat be very troublesome, there cannot be any objection to using the mineral acid, as I have indicated above (35), except homoeopathic remedies should be thought preferable and found to afford sufficient relief. Some good may, and no h... Mineral Acids Muriatic Acid Prescriptions

This is the most frequent form of valvular disease of the heart, and is due to a shortening or thickening of the valves, or to some adhesion which does not permit the valve, to close properly, and the blood consequently regurgitates from the left ve... Mitral Stenosis: Mitral Narrowing
This particular valvular defect occurs more frequently in women than in men, and between the ages of 10 and 30, and is generally the result of rheumatic endocarditis or chorea, perhaps 60 percent of mitral stenosis having this origin. Other causes a... Modifications Of Electricity
In the present stage of electric science, the conviction has become very general among experimenters that galvanism, magnetism, faradism, frictional electricity and the electricity of the storm-cloud are, in their essential nature, one and the same;... Moods
RELIEF from the mastery of an evil mood is like fresh air after having been several hours in a close room. If one should go to work deliberately to break up another's nervous system, and if one were perfectly free in methods of procedure, the bes... More Facts!
