第 214 頁 - ... professors, that the affair still goes on, and new promises of what was never done before are made every day. What aggravates the jest is, that even this promise has been made as long as the memory of man can trace it, and yet nothing performed, and yet still prevails.
第 374 頁 - Chinooks, and others near the sea, differs widely from that of the upper Indians, and appears somewhat less barbarous and cruel. A sort of cradle is formed by excavating a pine log to the depth of eight or ten inches. The child is placed in it on a bed of little grass mats, and bound down in the manner above described. A little boss of...
第 375 頁 - ... the occipito-frontal arch is measured by a tape over the surface of the cranium, from the posterior margin of the foramen magnum to the suture, which connects the os frontis with the bones of the nose; the horizontal periphery is measured by passing a tape around the cranium, so as to touch the os frontis immediately above the superciliary ridges, and the most prominent part of the occipital bone...
第 214 頁 - IT gives me much despair in the design of reforming the world by my speculations, when I find there always arise, from one generation to another, successive cheats and bubbles, as naturally as beasts of prey, and those which are to be their food. There is hardly a man in the world, one would think, so ignorant, as not to know that the ordinary...
第 148 頁 - S. theorized in this case, that the instrument must have perforated the vagina at its upper part to the left, and gone between the uterus and rectum. [If it had gone to the right, it would have perforated the...
第 194 頁 - To us the relations and conditions of cells, which are the primordial forms of organization, demand the teleological view of organic life.* Individuality is the distinguishing feature of organization, and we recognize in it something more than a mere collocation of physical conditions; we regard it as an Idea which exists before organization, which last is only the language in which the Idea is expressed. The conditions of this process of fecundation which we have just reviewed, will accept no other...
第 192 頁 - This germ-power may be extended by gemmation or by fission, but it can be formed only by the act of generation, and its play of extension and prolongation by budding or by division must always be within a certain cycle, and this cycle is recommenced by the new act of the conjugation again of the sexes. In this way the dignity of the ovum as the primordium of all true individuality is maintained ; and the axiom of Harvey, omne vivum ev ovo, stands as golden in physiology. The buds may put...
第 191 頁 - ... being.* The strict correlation between the essential products of the sexes is as wonderful as it is beautifully suggestive of the unity and simplicity of plan by which nature proceeds. This point, so seductive in all its relations, might be dwelt upon in detail, but we will continue with main and general facts. The ovum, as a nucleated or nucleolated cell, continues to grow, and whatever size it may attain to by the endogenous formation within its capsule of new cells, yet, when complete, it...
第 374 頁 - Indians place the infant, soon after birth, upon a board, to the edges of which are attached little loops of hempen cord or leather, and other similar cords are passed across and back, in a zig-zag manner, through these loops, enclosing the child, and binding it firmly down. To the upper edge of this board, in which is a depression to receive the back part of the head, another smaller one is attached by hinges of leather, and made to lie obliquely upon the forehead, the force of the pressure being...
第 214 頁 - There is hardly a man in the world, one would think, so ignorant as not to know that the ordinary quack-doctors, who publish their abilities in little brown billets, distributed to all who pass by, are to a man impostors and murderers...
