The doctor had better give you a sedative, and we will talk to-morrow, when you have had a night's sleep." "S-sleep? Oh, I shall s-sleep well enough, Your Eminence, when you g-give your c-consent to the colonel's plan an ounce of l-lead is a s-splendid sedative." "I don't understand you," Montanelli said, turning to him with a startled look. The Gadfly burst out laughing again.
I am a very child as to having any notion of business, said Mrs Merdle; 'but I am afraid, Mr Dorrit, it may have that tendency. This skilful see-saw of Mr Dorrit and Mrs Merdle, so that each of them sent the other up, and each of them sent the other down, and neither had the advantage, acted as a sedative on Mr Dorrit's cough.
"If I found a part of the social edifice that had to be blown to pieces, I might." "Take care that you don't involve us all in the crash. Meantime, what is the rest of your editorial page; a species of sedative to lull their minds? Who is Evadne Ellington?" "One of our most prominent young murderesses." "And you let her sign a column on your page?" "Oh, she's a highly moral murderess.
Lord preserve my poor understanding! 'Amen, with all my heart, said Waverley; 'but now, Mr. Macwheeble, let us proceed to business. This word had a somewhat sedative effect, but the Bailie's head, as he expressed himself, was still 'in the bees. He mended his pen, however, marked half a dozen sheets of paper with an ample marginal fold, whipped down Dallas of St.

Shivering, gasping, wild-eyed, she clung to him, and for a long hour he soothed her as if she had been an hysterical child. He put her into a comfortable chair, mixed her a sedative, and knelt beside her, slowly winning her back to calm and sanity again.
Her present sanity and calmness and mild bliss and self-control these were to last, these were the real symptoms of her condition, and of Arthur's condition. No! The memory of the ball did not trouble her; it had not troubled her since she awoke after the sedative.
For such things, however, our word-symbols do perfectly well, and such a symbolising of musical sounds must detract, I think, from the high mission of music: which, as I conceive, is neither to be an agent for expressing material things; nor to utter pretty sounds to amuse the ear; nor a sensuous excitant to fire the blood, or a sedative to lull the senses: it is a language, but a language of the intangible, a kind of soul-language.
The distance from which the fortunate couple radiated warmth on us was not too great for friendship to traverse; and our conception of a glorified leisure took the form of Sundays spent in the Grancys' library, with its sedative rural outlook, and the portrait of Mrs. Grancy illuminating its studious walls. The picture was at its best in that setting; and we used to accuse Claydon of visiting Mrs.
Now, although the negative pole is a stimulant and therefore not generally indicated in inflammation, as Coleman points out, the object in view is to diminish the density of the ocular capsule and its tension, hence the negative rather than the positive pole should be used, inasmuch as the former, according to him, while it is a sedative, hardens tissue and would tend to increase intra-ocular tension by diminishing excretion.
We have daily a powerful sedative effect in the morning, a powerful meridian reaction, which again subsides into a sedative condition on the access of the evening. This daily effect on the constitution is exactly similar to that at the autumnal equinox, only it occurs under different circumstances.
