Page 302 - It is as a lesson rather than as a reproach that I call up the memory of these irreparable errors and wrongs. No tongue can tell the heart-breaking calamity they have caused ; they have closed the eyes jus-t opened upon a new world of love and happiness ; they have bowed the strength of manhood into the dust ; they have cast the helplessness of infancy into the stranger's arms, or bequeathed it, with less cruelty, the death of its dying parent.

Page 102 - Bleeding arises solely from ulcération of an artery, of which again the prinmm mabile is the ligature. From one and all of these objections to the ligature the " wire compress" is almost or altogether free. Thus, in accordance with a well-known pathological law, it, being a metallic substance, is freely tolerated by the living body, and has little or no tendency to excite suppuration or irritation.
