Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1856, Vol. 12 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1856, Vol. 12 The subject of the present case is a daughter of Mr. B., of Li thonia, in this State: she was born in March 1851, and in Novem ber 1853 was attacked with Erysipelas, with which she was very ill, and remained feeble for some length of time. I am informed that she had no spasmodic affection during or subsequently to her illness; but it was observed, when she began to run about again, that she was lame. This lameness gradually increasing, its cause was observed to be in the foot, whose distortion grew more and more obvious until I saw her, in August, 1854. The case then presented all the peculiarities of a well-marked Talipes varus, the weight of the body resting upon the external margin of the foot; one only being effected.

Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1849, Vol. 5 It was not until the commencement of the present century, that this article attracted the attention of the profession at large; previous to this time, it had not been much used by regular practitioners, though a popular remedy in domestic practice, and more particularly, among some Southern tribes of Indians. To Dr. J. M. Walker, of Virginia, has been justly awarded the merit of being the first to institute chemical investigations on the constituent principles of the bark, and of promulgating to the profession the discoveries he had By more recent writers on the subject, however, these are pronounced to have been very imperfect.1' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

I have since given it during delirium, without bleeding, and with equally good effect. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1845, Vol. 1 But arrangements have now been made which justify the revival of the work, and render certain its future continuance. The Journal has been placed under the editorial management of two mem bers of the Faculty. They would distrust their own ability to carry on so laborious, and responsible an undertaking, but they are led to make the effort by the promise of the valuable aid of their colleagues, and of other distinguished members of the profession in this and the adjoining States. They have entire confidence in the ability of Southern physicians, to furnish matter which will do honor to themselves, and prove highly useful to the profession. We therefore cordially solicit them to furnish us with their communications, not only upon medical subjects, but also upon any of the collateral sciences. It is proposed to devote a portion of the Journal to Reviews of new works, and to such Extracts from these, and from other periodicals, as may be useful and interesting. Another part of the Journal will be appropriated to a general Sum mary of the improvements and discoveries in medicine, which are being made throughout the world. The facilities of the Editors for this part of their task are ample, as they are now regularly receiving all of the most valuable European and American Medical Journals.

Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1855, Vol. 11 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1855, Vol. 11 It is for the relief of the more violent and exhausting pains of the second stage, that Chloroform is more particularly appropriate and requisite. The benefit derived is not simply from its diminish ing the patients suffering, but inasmuch as pain itself exhausts the energies of the nervous system; in the same proportion as this remedy lessens pain, it also saves strength. Chloroform, unless when carried very far, does not diminish the force of the contrae tions of the uterus or abdominal muscles - it is altogether by obtunding sensibility, that it thus saves strength and prevents or lessens the nervous shock attendant on labor; hence it is, that those who take Chloroform, generally have a much more rapid and favorable convalescence, than those who are allowed to pass without relief or mitigation through a violent and protracted la bor. It is true, some very eminent obstetricians have bbjected to the use of this great remedy, but we think that a careful analysis of their Objections, will satisfy us of the fallacy of their reasoning. Professor Meigs, objects to Chloroform in Midwifery lst. Because he regards the pain in parturition as physiological, and thinks it ought not to.be suppressed; and 2d. Because in the employment of instruments, he considers it necessary to know how much the patient suffers, to avoid doing harm.

Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 1


Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 1: June, 1836 The College Library, to which we have constant access, will receive a regular supply of the most valuable medical books as W fast as they issue from the press, to reviews of which a portion of our Journal shall be devoted. Our sole object, as reviewers, will be to present to our readers a faithful and plain analysis of new books, whereby to attract attention to their merits, and assist in promulgating useful know ledge. We will only exercise the invidious office of exposing errors and defects, where they militate against sound doctrine and safe practice, and are thereby calculated to mislead the younger and less experienced members of the profession. Attached to no party in medicine, advocates of no particular doctrine, eclectics in science, zealous for improvement but oppo sed to useless innovation, we trust we shall be able, unbiassed by partiality or prejudice, to discern and commend what is excellent, and condemn what is erroneous, without reference to the source whence it comes. Besides the valuable Journals of our own country, the most approved periodicals of Great Britain, France, Germany and Italy, will furnish an inexhaustible fund of materials, that cannot fail to add utility as well as interest to our numbers.

Book Description

Excerpt from Southern Medical and Surgical Journal, 1837, Vol. 2 How the ovum performed the journey from that portion of the abdomen, into which it must have fallen from the ovarium, to the cardiac orifice of the stomach, where it was located, is a question which I am unable to answer. The source from which the ovum derives its nourishment has long divided physiologists. And notwithstanding the most able pens have been employed in the discussion, the subject is not yet completely settled. It is not my object to notice, in de tail, all the facts and arguments which have been adduced on this interesting subject. The most prevalent doctrine, at the present time, is that which assigns the placenta as the source. Some, however, maintain that the fetus is nourished from the liquor amnii.
