For the stroke of air, a little good wine; for the cold, warm covering; for the bronchitis, the tea of marshmallows; for the pleurisy, severe blistering; for the pneumonia, a good mustard plaster; for the general system, the black draught; above all, nothing to eat. Frictions with hot oil will also do good. It is the practice of medicine by proxy, my lady mother. What do you wish me to say?
Before that great moment, there had been consultations, negotiations, Cabinet Councils perchance, long and not easy discussion of details, settlement of differences, composure of all those personal frictions and collisions which are inevitable in the treadmill of political life.
Her nervous system was completely out of order, so that the strongest electric shocks produced scarcely any effect on her for some months. Aromatic baths, frictions, moderate exercise, a regimen of meat and milk, were the means of restoring her. Her bones and muscles grew so strong, that, in the course of a year, she could run and jump.
Soon it ceased to be a shriek, becoming a rude roar formed by divers collisions and frictions, like the descent of an electric tram through a hillside road, or the course of a train which passes through a station without stopping. He saw it approach in the form of a cloud, bulging as though it were going to explode over the battery.

As to Villars he also attracted my attention, but in quite a different way to Tronchin.
Our young woman's imagination, it appeared, had wandered far in that direction, and her guest had the rare delight of feeling in their conversation a full interchange. This episode will have lived for years in his memory and even in his wonder; it had the quality that fortune distils in a single drop at a time the quality that lubricates many ensuing frictions.
In water pressure machines loss does not occur from these causes, on account of the incompressibility of the liquid, but the frictions of the parts are the principal causes of loss of power. It would be advisable to ascertain whether, as regards this point, high or low pressures are the most advantageous.
There are formidable unknown quantities here, more difficult to decipher than the resistances, the deflections and the frictions of the pendulum. Let us eliminate them, that we may more easily propound the theory. Very well; but then my confidence in this natural history which repudiates nature and gives ideal conceptions precedence over real facts is shaken.
I shall defeat the Huguenots, and having entered France as a friend, I shall act as a master." "Oh, oh!" cried Chicot. "Did I hurt you, dear Monsieur Chicot?" said Bonhomet, discontinuing his frictions. "Yes, my good fellow." "I will rub more softly; don't be afraid."
