1. State the principal variations found in the kidneys procured at Evans's and the Coal Hole; and likewise name the proportion of animal fibre in the rump-steaks of the above resorts. Mention, likewise, the change produced in the _albumen_, or white of an egg, by poaching it upon toast. 2. Describe the comparative circulation of blood in the body, and of the _Lancet, Medical Gazette_, and _Bell's Life in London_, in the hospitals; and mention if Sir Charles Bell, the author of the "Bridgewater Treatise on the Hand," is the editor of the last-named paper.

His mind appears hysterically wandering, prompting various windmill-like motions of his arms, and an accompanying lyrical intimation that he, and certain imaginary friends, have no intention of going home until the appearance of day-break. State the probable disease; and also what pathological change would be likely to be effected by putting his head under the cock of the cistern. 2. Was the Mount Hecla at the Surrey Zoological Gardens classed by Bateman in his work upon skin diseases--if so, what kind of eruption did it come under? Where was the greatest irritation produced--in the scaffold-work of the erection, or the bosom of the gentleman who lived next to the gardens, and had a private exhibition of rockets every night, as they fell through his skylight, and burst upon the stairs? |
