Pàgina 150 - To those which are inserted in other tissues, not as essential to their structure, but as accessories, as connecting or incorporating them with the other structures of vegetative or animal life ; such as nerve-fibres and bloodvessels.
Pàgina 133 - Ib. chloride of lime (the sanitary disinfectant), and 4 oz. of water into a small wide-mouthed bottle, and when required for use pour some of the thick sediment into a saucer, and rub it well over the hands with pumice-stone or a nail brush, and it will clean the fingers quite equal to cyanide, but without any danger.
Pàgina 517 - On Cultivation of the Cinchona Tree. — Dr. Lemuel J. Deal, Pennsylvania, Chairman. On the Anatomy and Diseases of the Retina — Dr.
