Strana 25 - ... machine. In this experiment, ice was the only body in contact with the machine. Had this ice given out caloric, the water on the top of it must have been frozen. The water on the top of it was not frozen, consequently the ice did not give out caloric. The caloric could not come from the bodies in contact with the ice, for it must have passed through the ice to penetrate the machine, and an addition of caloric to the ice would have converted it into water.
Strana 25 - The fusion took place only at the plane of contact of the two pieces of ice, and no bodies were in friction but ice. " From this experiment it is evident that ice by friction is converted into water and according to the supposition, its capacity is diminished ; but it is a well-known fact that the capacity of water for heat is much greater than that of ice; and ice must have an absolute quantity of heat added to it before it can be converted into water.
Strana 478 - ... fever arifes only from the matter of an open ulcer; that what is termed laudable pus, when fecluded from the air, is neither capable of creating fever, nor, except by its gravity, can it irritate the parts on which it refts.
Strana 25 - From this experiment it is evident that ice by friction is converted into water, and according to the supposition, its capacity is diminished ; but it is a well-known fact, that the capacity of water for heat is much greater than that of ice ; and ice must have an absolute quantity of heat added to it, before it can be converted into water. Friction consequently does not diminish the capacities of bodies for heat.
Strana 134 - Respiration, then, is a chemical process, the combination of phosoxygen with the venous blood in the lungs, and the liberation of carbonic acid and aqueous gas from it.
Strana 327 - Horfe-Pond, firft drank his fill, and then fell faft afleep with his Head upon the Pond's Brink, where he was found in the Morning ; how long he had been in the Pond, no Body knew, for it was in the Night he went into the Water, and had no Nurje then with him, but he recovered to a Miracle.
Strana 323 - The noise awaked the nurse, who followed with an outcry, which outcry raised the posse of the family, who surrounded the pond; but he parleyed with them, and told them that if any body came in he would certainly drown them, and that he would come out when he saw his own time; and accordingly did so, and walked up stairs, and sat (in his wet shirt) upon a chep'; by the bedside, in which posture Mr.
Strana 199 - The experiments on the generation of heat were made long before the publication of Count Rumford's ingenious paper on the heat produced by friction.
Strana 326 - There was but one diflenting boy from that method, who by command from his parents, went another courfe, and he had like to have died ; nay, with very great difficulty they faved his life. And fince, another gentleman told me, that himfelf and divers others were cured by milk and apples, and buttered apples, in the worft fort of fmall pox.
Strana 321 - Turk (a servant to a gentleman), falling sick of a fever, some one of the tribe of treacle conners being called in, whether apothecary or physician, I can't tell, but (according to custom), what between blister and bolus, they soon made him mad. A countryman of his, that came to visit him, seeing him in the broiling condition, said nothing, but in the night-time, by some confederate help, got him down to the Thames' side, and soundly ducked him.
