Part 155

Footnote 20:

“A uterus served by organs.”

Footnote 21:

Menorrhage des Jeunes Filles et Hypertrophie du Col Utérin.

Footnote 22:

The German word used is Herzkrampf; in the first line of the paragraph it is used in the plural, and in inverted commas. Angina pectoris proper, the severe and often fatal disease met with chiefly in elderly men, is sometimes known in Germany as Herzkrampf, but the established and distinctive German name for the affection is Stenokardia. It is evident, however, that Krieger’s cases are not cases of true angina, and it is probable that they would be classed by English physicians under the heading of pseudo-angina pectoris.—TR.

Footnote 23:

Hebephrenie.—There is no current English equivalent of this word, used by Kahlbaum to denote a form of melancholia occurring at puberty, and terminating in dementia.—TR.

Footnote 24:

Katatonia (Katatonie) is a term used in Germany to denote insanity associated with muscular rigidity.—TR.

Footnote 25:

A term introduced by Charcot. See page 97.

Footnote 26:

The author’s classification is adhered to. It is not usual, I believe, in Germany, to class the thyroid body among the organs of respiration. But the only disease mentioned under the above heading is goitre.—TR.

Footnote 27:

In Germany the term Lanugo, or Wollhaar, is used to denote the rudimentary hairy covering of the body throughout life, as distinguished from the specialized and fully developed hairs of the head, beard, axillæ, etc. In England the use of the term lanugo is usually restricted to denote the downy crop of hair with which an infant is covered at birth, which is shed in a few months thereafter. See the English edition of Toldt’s Atlas of Human Anatomy, Part VI., Appendix, note 503.—TR.

Footnote 28:

It will be noticed that the author uses the term seborrhœa as a general term for diseases of the sebaceous glands, including acne. In England acne, and its preliminary stage, the formation of comedones, are separately considered, the signification of the term seborrhœa being limited to denote cases in which the secretion of the glands forms an oily, waxy, or scaly accumulation on the surface. Seborrhœa oleosa is defined by Crocker as that form of the affection in which the olein is in excess.—TR.

Footnote 29:

It must be remembered that these dietetic directions are for German and Austrian middle-class people, the arrangement of whose meals differs from ours considerably. The usual meals and hours are: Early breakfast, coffee and rolls, at 8 or earlier; second breakfast, a more substantial meal, at 10; mid-day dinner, the principal meal, at 1 or 2 P. M.; afternoon coffee, at 4; supper at 8 P. M.—TR.

Footnote 30:

Regarding the significance attached by the author to the words seborrhœa and seborrhœis, see note to page 107.

Footnote 31:

Eine Mutterpflicht.

Footnote 32:

See note 26 to p. 107.

Footnote 33:

My peace is lost, My heart is heavy, I find it never And nevermore. My bosom presses Towards him, Ah, could I seize him And embrace him, And kiss him, As I long to do, In his kisses I should pass away.
