Sivu 59 - Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Sivu 66 - ... relief. The principle of Mr. Amesbury's practice is simply that of keeping the ends of the bones in perfect repose, and at the same time applying pressure, particularly on the broken surfaces, so as to keep them in the closest possible contact with each other. Of course no general rule can be laid down as to the mode of attaining this object. In a case of transverse fracture, one kind of apparatus must be employed, in one of oblique fracture another, and in one of comminuted fracture a third.
Sivu 50 - They were, says a popular writer on medicine, by no means unacquainted with, or inattentive to these instruments of medicine, although modern practitioners appear to have no idea of removing disease, or restoring health, but by pouring drugs into the stomach.
Sivu 50 - He was the inventor of various modes of exercise and gestation, in Rome. In his own person, he afforded an excellent example of the wisdom of his rules, and the propriety of his regimen. Pliny tells us that, in early life, he made a public profession, that he would agree to forfeit all pretensions to the name of a physician, should he ever suffer from sickness, or die but of old age ; and, what is...
Sivu 16 - The diet is simple, animal food alone ; and it is recommended to take very little salt and some vinegar with the food, which prevents thirst, and is good to promote leanness. Vegetables are never given, as turnips, or carrots, or potatoes ; but bread is allowed, only it must be stale. They breakfast upon meat about eight o'clock, and dine at two. Suppers are not recommended, but they may take a biscuit and a little cold meat about eight o'clock, two hours before they go to bed. It is reckoned much...
Sivu 68 - With those in high repute, from about three weeks before Easter to the end of October ; but a week or ten days are quite sufficient for a rider to reduce himself from his natural weight to sometimes a stone and a half below it.
Sivu 68 - Dinner is taken very sparingly ; a very small piece of pudding and less meat ; and when fish is to be obtained, neither one nor the other is allowed.
Sivu 69 - ... hour or so before their dinner; after which no severe exercise is taken, but the remaining part of the day is spent in a way most agreeable to themselves. They generally go to bed by nine o'clock, and continue there till six or seven next morning. — What medicine do they take ? Some of them, who do not like excessive walking, have recourse to purgative medicines, glauber salts only. — Would Mr. Sandiver recommend...
Sivu 53 - A gentleman who was fond of good living, and found himself becoming more corpulent than he thought convenient, having heard of the salutary effects 52 *ffects of Mr. Wood's regimen, ordered his cook to prepare the miller's pudding, which he ate with great regularity every day after his usual dinner.
Sivu 17 - Men will live longer on beef, without change, than any other kind of animal food, but mutton is reckoned most easily digested. The meat must always be fresh, and never salted. No quantity of meat is fixed; it depends upon the constitution and appetite* Little men will eat as much as large men, and very frequently more. Pies and puddings are never given, nor any kind of pastry. As to hard dump* lings, 'people may as well take earthen-ware into the stomach, they are so very indigestible.
