Editorial
Get PDFAsk an etymologist or even a schoolboy with the Latin still tingling in his ears about the word hospital. You might glean more meanings subsumed under the word than bargained for; but care for the homeless is one interpretation that has fallen by the wayside. This is as well when the scene of the overcrowded, understaffedHealth Service is surveyed. Yet how much in fact is the care for the homeless (a matter of community health) the province of the medical profession
Some Pathological Aspects of Dissecting Aneurysm
Get PDFBased upon a Dissertation on “Dissecting Aneurysm” given before the Society on Friday, 17th January 1958. The term dissecting aneurysm implies the development of a circulatory pathway between the layers of the vessel wall. It can occur at all ages and in both sexes, being most frequent in men, in the fourth, fifth, and sixth decades, and in women in the eighth and ninth decades. It does not occur in normal arteries
Sir James Young Simpson
Get PDFAmong the many eminent men who have been Members or Honorary Fellows of the Royal Medical Society a number have attained a place in world history; one such is Sir James Y. Simpson—physician, teacher, discoverer and philanthropist. Most of us associate his name with the introduction of chloroform anaesthesia, and indeed seldom can a major advance in applied science have owed so much to one man; yet the story of Simpson’s life and deeds is so remarkable that, had he never discovered anything, he would still be remembered as a great man
Opera Occulta
Get PDFThis simple people [ChaymaIndians] have an insuperable dislike to cohabit with any deformed woman. This is indeed common to most savage tribes in a state of Nature, which is a state of great equality. Unless a woman be well formed she is neglected and dies barren.In Europe and wherever artificial manners prevail, ugly and even deformed women marry. The cupid of commercial countries is not the cupid of Pastoral poets. . . . He speaks too of a gentleman begetting a daughter with eyes and hair differently coloured from any of his children, his wife, or himself, and imagining this arose from his thinking (sub coitu) on a little brunette he had taken a fancy to. It might or might not be from this cause, but I have no idea that hanging the bridal bedwith a pall, would tend in the least to produce a Negro child. The sight of a Negro footman might be added without danger; but their contact would be more effectual in changing the colour of a first born. Physiognomy is no doubt varied by causes operational on the mind at or about the time of conception or it may be on the senses, and it is between the Physiognomy of man in its varieties and the variety of colour in domesticated animals that the analogy seems chiefly to exist
William Cullen and Joseph Black
Get PDFBased on the writer\u27s Presidential Address to the Royal Scottish Society of Arts.My story begins in the year 1710 in the town of Hamilton where WILLIAM CULLEN was born. His father was an attorney who acted as factor to the Duke of Hamilton. William was the second son of a family of seven sons and two daughters, and the children received their early education at the local Grammar School, the forerunner of the present Hamilton Academy. At the age of 17, William attended some of the Arts Classes at Glasgow University, and shortly after this he decided to follow a medical career
Perfusion
Get PDFThe value of perfusion is reasonably well established yet the field is still developing and the ultimate applications and potentialities of perfusion techniques arc as yet undefined. It is a subject on which, as I am sharply aware, my knowledge is very incomplete, and I will discuss, in the main, work being carried out in my department in Glasgow Royal Infirmary and the University of Glasgow
The Edinburgh Influence on Early American Medicine
Get PDFMr. President and Gentlemen, thank you very much for the honour of your invitation, for the courtesy of your presence and for what I am afraid will have to be the patience of your listening.I think it is not inappropriate to gather together some of the connections of our Medical School with the formative years of American medicine, and to present it in these rooms, for it seems that many of the American students to be mentioned were members of this ancient and honourable Society.Important as have been the impulses derived from other sources, kinship, community of language and intercourse have combined to render the influence coming from Scotland the dominant one in the development of American medicine. This is particularly true of the Colonial period and the first half-century of independence of the United States.It has been quite amazing to me to discover so many connections between this School of Medicine and the United States. There does not appear to be one state that has not had some connection in this way, and, indeed, I have had to make a selection and have inevitably omitted many
