This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on library shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the

rREFACE TO THE EIGHTH EDITION.
In issuing a Dew edition of his Dictionary the Author has, again, the pleasure to express his acknowledgments for the reception it has met with from the profes- sion. The last two editions comprised ahout nine thousand subjects and terms not contained in the edition immediately preceding, many of which had been introduced into medical terminology in consequence of the progress of the science, and others had escaped him in the previous reyisions.
That the author has not suffered his exertions to diminish, in the preparation of the present edition, is sufficiently manifested by the fact, that he has added about four thousand termSy which are not to be found in the last. These additions have necessarily required a great amount of labour, which has been cheerfully be- stowed, however, in order that the work might be rendered still more worthy of the vast favour which it has experienced. It has been the anxious desire of the author to make it a satisfactory and desirable — if not indispensable — lexicon, in which the student may search without disappointment for every term that has been legitimated in the nomenclature of the science ; and the present very carefully revised, greatly enlarged, and accurately printed edition cannot fail to be more extensively useful, and to offer stronger claims to the attention of the practitioner and student, than any of its predecessors.

EXTRACT FROM THE
PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.
The present nndcrtaking was suggested by the frequent complunts^ made by the aathor^s pupils, that they were unable to meet with information on numerous topics of professional inquiry, — especially of recent introduction, — ^in the medical dictioo- aries accessible to them. It may, indeed, be correctly affirmed, that we have no dictionary of medical subjects and terms which can be looked upon as adapted to the state of the science. In proof of this, the author need but remark, that he has found occasion to add several thousand medical terms, which are not to be met with in the only medical lexicon at this time in circulation in the country.
The author's object has not been to make a mere lexicon or dictionary of terms, but to afford, under each, a condensed view of its various medical relations, and thus to render the work an epitome of the existing condition of medical science. In its preparation, he has freely availed himself of the English, French, and Grcrman works of the same nature, and has endeavoured to add every subject and term of recent introduction, which has fallen under his notice ; yet, with all his care, it will doubtless be found that subjects have been omitted. The numerous additions, how- ever, which he has made, and his strong desire to be useful, '' by removing rubbish and clearing obstructions from the paths through which learning and genius press forward to conquest and glory," will, he tiusts, extenuate these and other objections that might be urged against the work ; especially when the toil, which every oom« piler of a dictionary must endur^, is taken into consideratipn ]^ a t^il lUiifhJias been so forcibly depicted by the gre^ "Efigii^^J^exicogpifhcff^ distin*
giushed SoAUora:
*Si qaelqa'an a oommii qnelqae crime odienx, S'Q a ta< aon pdre, on blasph^mfi los Dieux, Qn'U fiuie on Lezioon: s'U est rapplioe an mon^e Qui le pnniMe mieox, Je yeox que Ton me tonde."
EXPLANATION.
Ir the fiimplo synonymy of any term be needed^ a mere reference to the term may be sufficient; but if farther information be desired^ it may be obtained under the term referred to. For examploi the French word Tronc is said to be synony- mous with Trunk, This may be sufficient for the inquirer: should it not, the requisite information may be found by turning to Trunk,

gyreumatac odour. Its density in the liquid state, \ almost the same as that of alcohol, 0.7021. Its taste is disagreeable, and analogous to that of peppermint. It, is misoible in all proportioni with water, alooliol, and ether. It may be pre- pared by distilling a mixture of two parts of crystallised acetate of lead and one part of qidok- lime in a salt-glase Jar (gray-beard,) the lower part of the jar being coated with fire-clay ; and a bent glass tube, half an inch in diameter, adapted to the mouth by a cork, so as to form a distillatory ^paratus. The jar is supported on the mouth of a small ftimaoe, by which the lower part only is heated to redness, and the vapours are conducted into a Liebig's condenser. The product is repeatedly redistilled from quicklime, mntil its boilmg point is constant at 182®.
It has been brought forward as a remedy in phthisis pulmonalis; but evidently with un- founded pretensions. It is an excitant, and may be serviceable in chronic bronchitis. The dose is ten to forty drops three times a day, diluted with water.

AIR, Air, Pneuma, from aw, *I breathe.* Cfommon Air, Atmoepherie air (F.) Air atmoephi^ riqne, is an invisible, traofparent, inodorous, in- sipid, ponderable, compressible, and elastic fluids which, under the form of the atmonphere, sur- rounds the earth to the height of 15 or 16 leagues.
Air is essentially composed of two gases, oxt- gen and nitrogen, in the proportion of 20 of tne former to 80 of the latter. Oxygen is the vital portion, but the nitrogen is necessary to dilute it. Air also contains a small portion of carbonic acid gas, and has always floating in it aqueous va- pour, different terrestrial emanations, Ac. Iti effects upon the human body vary according to its greater or loss density, temperature, moisture, <i;c. ; hence, change of air is found extremely serviceable in the prevention and cure of certain morbid conditions.

ANAT'OMT, Anol'om^, AnaUm'ia, Protc^tio, from AMI, and rt^vuv, 'to out,' (F.) Anaiomie, The word Anatomy properly signifies di$wetion ; bat it has been appropriated to the study and knowledge of the number, shape, situation, struc- ture, and connexion, — ^in a word, of all the appa- rent properties of organised bodies. Anatomy is the science of organisation. Some hare giren the term a still more extended acceptation, applying it to every mechanical decomposition, even of in- organic bodies. Thus, Cryttallography has been termed the Anatamif of crystalUsod minerals. Anatomy has also been called MorpkoVogyf So^ mtatoro^ift SomaMfomjff OrganoVogy, Ac. It as- sumes different names according as the study is eonfined to one organised being, or to a species or class of beings. Thus, Andlrof omy, or AniAropot'- omv, orAfUhropog^rapkjf, or Anthropo9omatol'ogjf, is Une Auatomjf of man: — Zootomjf, that of the other species of the animal kingdom : and Vet'erinary Ana^omtf is the anatomy of domestic animals: bat when the word is used abstractly, it means Jkusuia Anatcmy, and particularly the study of ^e organs in a physiological or healthy state. Pkytiological Anatomy is occasionally used to signify the kind of anatomy which Lnyestigates structure with a special yiew to function. The Anatomy of the diseased human body is called Patiolog"ical or Morbid Anatomy, and when ap- plied to Medical Jurisprudence, Foren'»ie Anat- omy, Seversl of the organs possessing a simi- larity of structure, and beln^ formed of the same tissues, they have been grouped into Systems or Genera of Organs ; and the study of, or acquaint- ance with, snch systems, has been called General AntU'omy, ffietol'ogVf or Morphot'omu, whilst the Study of each organ in particular has been termed DueripHve Anatomy. HUtology is, however, more frequently appUed to the Anatomy of the Tiewee, which is called, also, Tex'tural and Ifieroecopie Anatomy. Descriptive Anatomy has been di- vided into Skeletotogy which comprises Oeteol'"
ogy, and Symdemnofogy ; and into SareoPogf, which is stibdivided iuto Myol'ogyf Ne¥roVvgyf AngioVogyf AdenoVogy^ ^jUanchnol'ogy, andJjer- moVogy, Sur'gieed Anat'omyt Medieo-Cht'urgical Anatomy, Topograph' teal AncU'omyf Re'gional Anat'omy, (F.) Anatomie Chiurgicale, A. det Hi' gione, is the particular and relative study of the bones, muscles, nerves, vessels, Ao., with which, it is Indispensable to be acquainted before per- forming operations. Compar'ative Anafomy is the comparative stody of each organ, with a view to an acquaintance with the modifications of its structure in different animals or in the different classes of animals. Traneeendent'al or Philoet^h*- teal Anatomy inquires into the mode, plan, or model upon which the animal frame or organs are formed ,• and Arti/i'cial Anatomy is the art of modelling and representing in wax or other substance, the different organs or different parts of the human body, in the sound or diseased state. Phytot'omy is the anatomy of vegetables, and Picto'rial Anatomy, anatomy artistically illus- trated.

Properly, Aneurism signiiics a tumour, produced by the dilatation of an artery ; but it has been extended to various Ictiions of arteries, as well as to dilatations of the heart
There are various kinds of aneurism. The fol- lowing are the chief.
I. When the blood, which forms the tumour, is enclosed within the dilated coats of the artery. This is the true Aneurism, Aneury^'ma verum, Hernia Arteria'rum, (F.) Anivryame vrai.
II. When the blood has escnped from the opened artery, it is called sPURiors or falsi Aneurisk, Aneurit'ma tpu'rium, Ruptu'ra Arte*" rial, Arteriorrhex'ie, Arteriodial'yeig, Ecchvmo*' ma arterio'eum, (F.) AuSvrygme faux. The latter is divided into three varieties.
1. Diffused Falie Aneuriem, (F.) Anfrryemt faux, primitif, diffue, noncirconscrit ou par infiU tration, which occurs immediately after the divi- sion or rupture of an artery, and consists of an extravasation of blood into the areolar texture of the part.
2. drcumaerihed False Aneuriem, (F.) Aniv» ry erne, faux comictttif, circonserit ou par fpanehe^ ment, enhyeti ou eaeeiforme, tumeur hSmorrhagiaU circonecrite, in which the blood issues from the vessel some time after the receipt of the wound, and forms itself a sac in the neighbouring areolar membrane.
3. An'euriem by Anaetomo'nt, or Var'icoee An' euritm, Phlebarteriodial'yaie, Aneurys'ma veno*' »o~arterio'§um. A, varico'eum, (F.) AnSvryeme par anaftomoee ou variqueux, A. par Sroeion, A. ds PoTT, A. de9 pluepetitee artfree, which arises from the simultaneous wounding of an artery and vein; — the arterial blood passing into the vein, and producing a varicose state of it.
III. Mixed AmsuRisv, (F.) Anfvrytme mixte, is that which arises from the dilatation of one or two of the coats, with division or rupture of the other. Some authors have made two varieties of this.
1. Mixed external Aneurism, where the internal and middle coats are ruptured, and the areolar is dilated.
2. Mixed internal Aneurism, in which the in- ternal coat is dilated, and protrudes, like a hernial sac, through the ruptured middle and outer coat*. This variety has been called Aneury^ma Her'- fit am Arte'ritB sistens.
Aneurisms have been likewise termed frcru. mat'ic and sponta'neous, according as tlicy may have been caused by a wound, or have originated spontaneously. They have also been divided into internal and external.
The internal aneurisms are situate in the great splanchnic cavities, and occur in the heart and great vessels of the chest, abdomen, Ac. Tlicir diagnosis is difficult, and they are often inacces- sible to surgical treatment.
The external aneurism* are sltaate at the tXJiA*
of [be bud, pack, ud limbi, aai *n du- lly pulsttlory.

ANGLE, An'gidutf from ayKv^of, 'a hook.' The space between two lines which meet in a point
Angle, Fa'cial, pointed out by Camper, is formed by the union of two lines, one of which Ss drawn from the most prominent part of the foreb-ad to the alveolar edge of the upper jaw, opposite the incisor teeth — the facial line — and the other &rum the meatus auditorius externus to the same point of the jaw. According to the size of the angle it has been attempted to appre- ciate the respective proportions of the cranium and face, and, to a certain extent^ the degree of
intelligence of individuals and of animals. la the white varieties of the species, this angle ia generally 80° ; in the negro not more than 70% and sometimes only 65°. As we descend the scale of animals, the angle becomes less and less; until, in fishes, it nearly or entirely disappears. Animals which have the snout long, and facial angle small, such as the snipe, crane, stork, Ae^_ are proverbially foolish, at least they are so esteemed; whilst intelligence is ascribed to those in which the angle is more largely developed, as the elephant and the owl. In these last animals, however, the large facial angle is caused by tiia size of the frontal sinuses : — so that this mode of appreciating the size of the brain is very inexaety and cannot be depended upon.
The following is a table of the angle in man and certain animals :

Angle, Occipital, of Daubbntov, is formed by a line drawn from the posterior margin of the foramen magnum to the inferior margin of the orbit, and another drawn from the top of the head to the space between the occipital condyles. In man, these condyles, as well as the foramen magnum, are so situate, that a line drawn per- pendicular to them would be a continuation of the spine ; but in animals they are placed more or less obliquely; and the perpendicular is neces- sarily thrown farther forward, and the angle ren- dered more acute.
