Later, when he had had his tenderloin and she had department-stored herself, a pint of grocer's burgundy had reduced him to tears. The day before it had seemed to her that the frock would do. But her judgment had been hurried. Shops, crowds, the vibrations of both, devitalised and confused her.
Bed-sores are most frequently met with in old and debilitated patients, or in those whose tissues are devitalised by acute or chronic diseases associated with stagnation of blood in the peripheral veins. Any interference with the nerve-supply of the skin, whether from injury or disease of the central nervous system or of the peripheral nerves, strongly predisposes to the formation of bed-sores.
When a wound is made in the integument under aseptic conditions, the passage of the knife through the tissues is immediately followed by an oozing of blood, which soon coagulates on the cut surfaces. In each of the divided vessels a clot forms, and extends as far as the nearest collateral branch; and on the surface of the wound there is a microscopic layer of bruised and devitalised tissue.
Only Rodney's had been solidified and developed by the contacts and exigencies of his career, and Neville's disembodied, devitalised and driven inwards by her more dilettante life. She "helped Rodney with the constituency" of course, but it was Rodney's constituency, not hers; she entertained his friends and hers when they were in town, but she knew herself a light woman, not a dealer in affairs.
His pulses, which, but a few minutes past, were throbbing and pounding like drums in his ears, seemed now to flow and beat in very quiet. Was this, then, the way that murderers felt, that men felt who took human life so frozen, so little a part of their surroundings? Did they move as dead men among the living, devitalised, vacuous calm? His life had been suddenly twisted out of recognition.
Are you aware of the things that can happen to you if you allow the red corpuscles of your blood to become devitalised? I had a friend . . ." "Stop! You're scaring me to death!" Uncle Chris gave his mustache a satisfied twirl. "Just what I meant to do, my dear. And, when I had scared you sufficiently you wouldn't wait for the story of my consumptive friend! Pity! It's one of my best!
It was, perhaps, a thought too pale mild and sweet as a kind old face, but a little devitalised, even wan.... Yes, decidedly it would bear a robuster note more and richer flowers, and possibly some warm and gay stuff for cushions for the window-seats.... "Of course, I really can't afford it," he muttered, as he went for a two-foot and began to measure the width of the window recesses....
In recent injuries such as result from railway or machinery accidents, with bruising and crushing of the tissues and grinding of gross dirt into the wounds, the scissors must be freely used to remove the tissues that have been devitalised or impregnated with foreign material. Hair-covered parts should be shaved and the surrounding skin painted with iodine.
In France during the Revolution the populace turned frantically upon the established faith, tore it to shreds, burlesqued it, and set up the worship of the Goddess of Reason, as they called it, typified by a Parisian harlot. In England a devitalised Deism laid its chilly hand not only upon the world of scholars and men of letters, but even upon the church.
