They are shelves composed of flesh and muscle, their substance resembles neither the catgut of which the strings of stringed instruments are made nor the cane, wood or metal of which the reeds of reed-instruments are formed; and the entire length of each cord is a trifle more than half an inch in men and a little less than half an inch in women.
The patient was in great collapse, but quickly rallied, only to suffer renewed hemorrhage from the internal carotid nine days later. This was controlled by pressure with sponges, and a quart of hot water was injected into the rectum. From this time on the patient made a slow recovery, a small sinus in the lower part of the neck disappearing on the removal of the catgut ligature.
"To be sure," said Moody. "We a'n't none of us so young; we can't stay waiting for old Catgut no longer." It was thus these miscreants named our excellent friend. The nickname he could easily have forgiven, but the allusion to the divine source of all his melodious joy would have irritated even him. Let us hope he never knew the insult.
At one time in its history the house had been occupied by a catgut maker, and the rickety shed in which he had carried on his calling still clung, sagging and broken-roofed, to the building itself, its rotten slates all but vanished, and its interior piled high with mildewed bedding, mouldy old carpet, broken furniture, and refuse of every sort.
It's quite enough a man should deceive his own self, without another to come and help him." "To speak the truth is not to deceive," replied Mary. "I have some knowledge of music, and I say only what is true." "What good can it be spending his time scraping horsehair athort catgut?" "They must fancy some good in it up in heaven," said Mary, "or they wouldn't have so much of it there."
To reduce the wood to the right thinness, then to bend and fasten it with wooden pegs and with gums, to add the arm, frets, keys, and finally the catgut strings those of another kind being out of the question kept me busy for some days.
In our experiments with a catgut and rawhide backing, we have not found that they add materially to the cast of a bow, only insure it against fracture. On the other hand, sap wood and hickory backing materially add to the power of the implement. The little red yew bow used in the previous experiment was backed heavily with rawhide and catgut.
The irritation in these cases is probably due to toxins in the catgut and not to bacteria. When suppuration occurs in connection with buried sutures of unabsorbable materials, such as silk, silkworm gut, or silver wire, it is apt to persist till the foreign material is cast off or removed. Suppuration may occur in the track of a skin stitch, producing a stitch abscess.
At the furlong pole beyond, Tay Ho's hooded head for the first time showed in front only to be instantly eclipsed by the white star of Aldegonde. Aramis began to hang the angry roar of his backers told he was out of it. Simultaneously, the jockeys sat down to ride there was the cruel swish of catgut, the crueler prodding of steel.
"Thanks very much, Miss Gregg," he said. "Everything went off nicely." "I was sorry about that catgut. We have no trouble with what we prepare ourselves. But with so many operations " He was in a magnanimous mood. He smiled' at Miss Gregg, who was elderly and gray, but visibly his creature. "That's all right. It's the first time, and of course it will be the last." "The sponge list, doctor."
