Page 74 - Figs. 314 and 315 is passed through the fissure, so that its point can be laid on the tissues immediately above the soft velum, midway between its attachment to the bones and the posterior margin, and about half-way between the velum and the lower end of the Eustachian tube ; the point is then thrust deep, and carried half an inch or more backwards and forwards so as to cut the levator palati across in the line indicated by letter a in drawing (fig.
Page 55 - I have made a very large number of careful measurements of the mouths of the congenitally feeble-minded and of intelligent persons of the same age, with the result of indicating, with some few exceptions, a markedly diminished width between the posterior bicuspids of the two sides." . . . " One result, or rather one accompaniment, of this narrowing, is the inordinate vaulting of the palate. The palate assumes a roof-like form. The vaulting is not simply apparent from the approximation of the two...
Page 55 - Of the most significant value, however, is the condition of the palate. I have made a very large number of careful measurements of the mouths of the congenitally feeble-minded and of intelligent persons of the same age, with the result of indicating, with some few exceptions, a markedly diminished width between the posterior bicuspids of the two sides.
Page 75 - That the flaps are slightly drawn upwards and to the sides, when the levator palati contracts ; 2d, that when the levator palati and palato-pharyngeus act strongly and together, the flaps are so forcibly drawn from the mesial gap, that they can scarcely be distinguished from the sides of the pharynx...

The propriety of enlarging the aperture naturally suggested itself; and as the eye had not been useful for a long time as an organ of vision, a small blunt-pointed bistoury...
Page 84 - The edge of each palate bone is pierced with a strong, straight, threecornered punch, and a thick soft silver wire put through the opening, the ends of which are twisted together. The mucous membrane is divided near the place where the palate bone joins the alveolar processes ; a thin, smooth, concave chisel is then put to the bone, and it is cut through on both sides. The wires are then twisted again till the edges of the bony cleft approach each other a little, or altogether. The first alone can...

That when the levator palati, and palato-pharyngeus, act strongly and together, the flaps are so forcibly drawn from the mesial gap, that they can scarcely be distinguished from the sides of the pharynx. 3. That the flaps are forced together, and the edges come into contact, when the superior constrictor muscle contracts during the act of deglutition. 4. That the circumflexus palati possesses but a feeble power over the flaps. Lastly, the fibres of the palato-glossus were very imperfectly...
