In vivid dreams the protrusion was considerable; and when she was awake and engaged in active thought or sprightly conversation, it was still greater. In alluding to this subject, Dr. Caldwell remarks, that if it were possible, without doing an injury to other parts, to augment the constant afflux of healthy arterial blood to the brain, the mental operations would be invigorated by it.
He examined it; it was arterial blood. He went to her directly, and expressed his anxiety. "Oh, it is nothing," said she. "Nothing! Pray, how often has it occurred?" "Once or twice. I must take your advice, and be quiet, that is all."
As arterial and venous blood are in a perpetual state of alternate conversion into one another, the question arises, in what circumstances the protoxide of iron is capable of being converted into the peroxide, and vice versâ.
"He's in a very bad way, Mrs. Woodburn," he said. "Advanced arterial deterioration. And the condition is complicated by some deep-seated fear-complex." The doctor was young, up-to-date, and dabbling in psycho-therapy. "Fear of death?" asked Mrs. Woodburn. "Fear of life, I think," the other answered. "He wouldn't talk to me. And I can't, of course, attempt a mental analysis." Mrs.
His window looked out upon that thoroughfare which is to San Francisco what the aorta is to the arterial system. Gazing down from a height of four stories he could see a never-ending stir, hear the roar of vehicular traffic which swelled from a midnight murmur to a deep-mouthed roar in the daylight hours.
The homogeneous form of the African continent causes a whimsical family resemblance, allowing for the difference of northern and southern hemispheres, in its four arterial streams the Nile and Niger, the Congo and Zambeze. The Nile and Niger, being mainly tenanted by Moslemized and comparatively civilized races, have long been known, more or less, to Europe.
Its arterial or water system supplies the enormous quantity of 44,383,328 gallons per day, while its venous or sewer system carries off 9,502,720 cubic feet of refuse. To warm its people and to supply its factories, a fleet, amounting to upwards of a thousand sail, is employed in bringing annually 3,000,000 tons of coal, exclusive of 2,000,000 tons brought by rail.
It is of great importance you should clearly understand these teachings of Galen, because, as I said just now, they sum up all that anybody knew until the revival of learning; and they come to this that the blood having passed from the stomach and intestines through the liver, and having entered the great veins, was by them distributed to every part of the body; that part of the blood, thus distributed, entered the arterial system by the 'anastomoses', as Galen called them, in the lungs; that a very small portion of it entered the arteries by the 'anastomoses' in the body generally; but that the greater part of it passed through the septum of the heart, and so entered the left side and mingled with the pneumatised blood, which had been subjected to the air in the lungs, and was then distributed by the arteries, and eventually mixed with the currents of blood, coming the other way, through the veins.
At the extremity of the fine convolutions of the glands the arterial force ceases; this in respect to the capillary vessels, which unite the extremities of the arteries with the commencement of the veins, is evident to the eye, on viewing the tail of a tadpole by means of a solar, or even by a common microscope, for globules of blood are seen to endeavour to pass, and to return again and again, before they become absorbed by the mouths of the veins; which returning of these globules evinces, that the arterial force behind them has ceased.
Everybody survived, the fit and the unfit, which is death to competition and that arterial excitation without which trade becomes stagnation. Three men sat in the private office of the National Bank, the windows of which overlooked the town square. They were the tutelary deities of all public occasions in the town. They always sat on the platform behind the speaker on Decoration Days.
