The gaping cracks were instantly drawn together, and almost obliterated by the contracting power of the remedy, and were effectually shielded from the influence of moisture, and the pressure of the gums of the infant, and all this in consequence of the rapid evaporation of the ether, in ,an instant of time.
Pàgina 36 - The knife is then to be conducted with its conr cavity directed downwards, along the finger till its point reaches the finger nail.
