By attempting to seize his thoughts, and fix them in an enduring form, he finds them vague and unsatisfactory...
Página 538 - An Essay on Food, in which the received Doctrine of Modern Physiologists respecting the Waste of the Body is exploded; the cause of Animal Heat is explained upon New Principles ; the source whence Nitrogen is derived by Herbivorous Animals is established; General Rules for the Preservation of Health are laid down ; and the wisdom of the Divine Economy in all is vindicated.
Página 213 - ... increased to two minims every fourth hour. It is safer to give this medicine in small doses at very short intervals, than to run any risk of producing too great depression by a large dose. The frequency of its exhibition must depend upon the strength of the patient and the severity of the attack. The dose should be repeated when the effects begin to subside, which in mild cases generally happens in three or four hours; but when much fever is present, its influence is felt but a very short time;...
