It is the serpent! here help help! Water! water! I am choking. No, Gayarre is! I have him now! Again it is the serpent! O God! it coils around my throat it strangles me! Help! Aurore! lovely Aurore! do not yield to him!" "I will die rather than yield!" "I thought so, noble girl! I come to release you! How she struggles in his grasp! Fiend! off off, fiend! Aurore, you are free free!
In the other is a large mouth, grinning, opposite to which is a stuffed pocket, from which hangs the motto, 'ne quid detrimenti res privata capiat.

Whether, with extended arm, he strangles the "reluctantes dracones" of democracy, or with every faculty called home, concentrates the light and heat of his being in developing into principles those great sentiments and great instincts which are his inspiration; in all, the orator stands forth with the majesty and chastened grace of Pericles himself.
Nothing living was burnt, except a flock of pigeons: they flew into the flames, and the yard dog. I had not thought of the dog.

Panic strangles life, and the money-making fever always tends to panic.

The thought of a contest against the machine candidate carries with it the loss of the rest of the little hoard. He has boasted that he will retain Emery Storrs, the eminent advocate. Corkey grows black in the face. He hiccoughs. He strangles. He unburdens himself with a supreme sneeze. The mate enters the cabin. "I knew that sneeze would wreck us!" he cries savagely.
What is the specific cause and method of infection in tetanus? Give the treatment. STRANGLES. DISTEMPER. This is an acute infectious disease associated with a catarrhal condition of the air-passages and suppuration of the lymphatic glands in the region of the throat.
