254 페이지 - ViceChancellor Sir W. PAGE WOOD stated publicly in Court that Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE was UNDOUBTEDLY the INVENTOR of CHLORODYNE, that the whole story of the defendant Freeman was deliberately untrue, and he regretted to say it had been sworn to. — See The Times, July I3th, 1864. Dr. J. Collis Browne's CHLORODYNE...
79 페이지 - Be to their faults a little blind, Be to their virtues very kind, Let all their thoughts be unconfined, A.nd clap your padlock on the mind.
254 페이지 - We have made pretty extensive use of Chlorodyne in our practice lately, and look upon it as an excellent direct Sedative and Anti-spasmodic. It seems to allay pain and irritation in whatever organ, and of whatever cause.
254 페이지 - I have no hesitation in stating that I have never met with any medicine so efficacious as an Anti-Spasmodic and Sedative. I have used it in Consumption, Asthma, Diarrhoea, and other diseases, and am perfectly satisfied with the results.

The smaller the animal, the greater the space occupied by his remains. Though not invariably the case, yet this rule, to a certain extent, is true, and will, therefore, answer our present purposes, which are simply those of illustration: Take the elephant and his remains, or a microscopic animal and his, and compare them. The contrast, as to space...
254 페이지 - CHLORODYNE coined by him expressly to designate it. There never has been a remedy so vastly beneficial to suffering humanity, and it is a subject of deep concern to the public that they should not be imposed upon by having imitations pressed upon them on account of cheapness, and as being the same thing. Dr.
181 페이지 - Bay, with the nooks of sea running up to Glengarrif, is very lovely. But they are not equal to Sydney either in shape, in colour, or in variety. I have never seen Naples, or Rio Janeiro, or Lisbon ; — but from description and pictures I am led to think that none of them can possess such a world of loveliness of water as lies within Sydney Heads.

182 페이지 - I know that the task would be hopeless were I to attempt to make others understand the nature of the beauty of Sydney Harbour. I can say that it is lovely, but I cannot paint its loveliness. The sea runs up in various bays and coves, indenting the land all around the city so as to give a thousand different aspects of the water — and not of water broad, unbroken, and unrelieved, but of water always with jutting corners of land beyond it, and then again of water and then again of land.
2 페이지 - The habitual respiration, when on deck, of the air free from organic and inorganic impurities and floating particles of dust and carbon that are met with in even the purest air on land. 4. The greater equability of temperature at sea. 5. The presence in the air of certain substances, such as saline particles, which may exert a specific beneficial...
65 페이지 - The billows there lift themselves up in long ridges with deep hollows between them. They run up high and fast, tossing their white caps aloft in the air, looking like the green hills of a rolling prairie capped with snow, and chasing each other in sport. Still their march is stately and their roll majestic. The scenery among them is grand, and the Australianbound trader, after doubling the Cape of Good Hope, finds herself followed for weeks at a time by these magnificent rolling swells, and lashed...
