Book Description
Excerpt from A Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System The object-lens should have a focal distance of about two inches, and it should be held so as to bring the focus on the pupil. The lamp is placed behind and a little to one side of the eye to be examined. In order to see the optic disk, the patient is told to look at the ear of the observer on the side opposite to the eye being examined. In this way the axis of vision is directed inward, and the optic disk readily brought into view. These examinations are made in a room lighted only by the lamp used in the processes. It is sometimes necessary to dilate the pupil with atropia, in order to obtain a view of the disk, but experience and tact will generally enable the observer to dispense with this rather dio agreeable procedure.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Clinical Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System The erudition displayed in Dr. Rosenthal's treatise does not recog nize the boundaries of country, though it is but natural that the author should chiefly refer to the works of his compatriots. We will find in this work, which is not deficient in original observations, a concise but complete expose of important researches upon various questions in nervous pathology by L. Tuerck, Benedikt, Meynert, and other authors of the Vienna School. Among works of this character, which are, in my opinion, too little known among us, I shall restrict myself to calling attention to those which discuss the anatomical lesions of the nervous centres in hydrophobia, the lesions of the arteries in cere bral syphilis, and, finally, the observations which have established, according to Dr. Voigt, the relations of cutaneous anaesthesia and hyperaesthesia with the distribution of the nerves to the integument. The study of foreign works upon nervous diseases has led me to pay attention to certain studies in comparative pathology, which may be applied to the investigation of the changes which morbid types of this class experience, according to climate, nationality, race, etc., but without losing their autonomy. As a rule, we are only able to point out slight shades of difference in a study of this character. But the deviation may sometimes be characterized by more or less profound modifications, even in adjacent countries and under very similar parallels of latitude.

Book Description
Excerpt from Clinical Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System, Vol. 2 The morbid processes occurring in the cortical cells of the brain in general progressive paralysis may also develop in the cord under the influence of various acute or chronic inflammatory affections. Degeneration and pigmentary atrophy occur in the multipolar nerve-cells of the anterior horns and in the fibres which unite these cells with the intra-medullary portion of the anterior roots and with the antero-lateral columns. From careful study of the affections of the anterior spinal nerve-roots we have become better acquainted with the influence of these delicate and important parts upon the motor and trophic functions, and a whole series of morbid types have been discovered which may be combined with various bulbar or spinal paralyses. The anatomical data have so much the more importance with regard to the theory and clinical knowledge of the diseases in question, because nature herself, by isolating the lesions in certain nerve-cells, in certain groups of cells, or in certain bundles of the white substance, has furnished us with a positive and precise solution of all the problems which could be determined by experimentation. The most skilful and practised experimenter could never obtain equally positive results. In the following section we shall first examine the rapid inflammatory processes occurring in the anterior horns (myelitis antica acuta) as they are found in acute spinal infantile paralysis and in that of adults; then, the chronic inflammatory processes in the anterior gray columns (myelitis antica chronica), which constitute the fundamental lesion of progressive muscular atrophy and its different forms.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Clinical Treatise on the Diseases of the Nervous System, Vol. 2 Infantile paralysis was described as early as the last century by Under wood (treatise on the Diseases of Children, London, erroneously considered it to be an idiopathic paralysis, and Duchenne de scribed it under the name of fatty atrophic paralysis of childhood. It usual] begins suddenly. After one or several attacks of fever, accomo panicfi by general symptoms of irritation (insomnia, convulsions, delirium, cries), but usually without disturbance of the intelligence, the parents or attendants notice, to their great surprise, when lifting the child, that he has been seized with paralysis during the night. The acute period only continues a short time, and is often entirely unnoticed. The ral 818 then becomes evident, and frequently extends to the trunk and lim Eat it soon leaves the upper parts of the body, and remains permanent in one or two limbs, or only in certain groups of muscles. This circumscribed paralysis usual] involves one of the upper or lower limbs. In the upper imbs the muse es afiected, by preference, are the extensors of the arm or forearm and fingers; in the ower limbs they are the extensor of the thigh (psoas), but much more frequent] the muscles innervated by the peroneal nerve, or the triceps muscle. Gpinal infantile paral sis may as sume the form of paraplegia, and very rare] of hemiplegia the latter is almost always of cerebral origin). It may also affect the foot and hand upon opposite sides, or the muscles of the trunk (with secondary lateral curvature of the s inal column). In very rare instances, as in the follow ing observation, the paralysis occurs in both upper limbs. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Nervous System and Its Diseases: A Practical Treatise on Neurology for the Use of Physicians and Students The nomenclature and terminology advocated by Professor Burt G. Wilder, of Cornell University, have in the main been used, more largely than in any previous practical work on neurology. The reforms advocated by this distinguished anatomist, especially the introduction of mononyms, are deserving of general adoption.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diseases of the Nervous System: Being a Treatise on Spasmodic, Paralytic, Neuralgic and Mental Affections; For the Use of Students and Practitioners of Medicine In order to render the work more practical, the author, availing himself of the large amount of Clinical material at his command, has selected for illustration such cases as seem to him to be best adapted for that purpose. Hence, in lieu. Of the mere synopsis usually given, which is Often too meagre to furnish the practitioner with a correct picture of either the disease or its treatment, care has been taken to give all the more important clinical illustrations in sufficient detail to Ob viate any such Objection. It has been well said, that the char acter of a man may generally be known by the coat he wears; and we think the simile holds good with reference to clinical illustrations of disease. If complete, they bring diseasebefore the student and practitioner in the same vivid and practical manner, as does the study of it at the bedside of the patient'. And as the sight of an object will' be likelv to convey a better idea of it than the most labored description, so will a well worded clinical illustration be apt to make a better and deeper impression upon the mind of the reader.

Book Description
Excerpt from Diseases of the Nervous System For this reason the literature of our school has been diligently searched for remedies which are indicated, and'also those giving some clinical basis for their employment. For the same reason the adjuvant and palliative agents, from all sources, have not been neglected, since the relief of suffering and deformity may be the only assistance which we can offer to many who come to us for relief. Under the conditions attending the compilation of this book, it was not feasible to denote the origin of data in the majority of instances, but the writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the many contribu tors of articles upon the several subjects in recent current literature, and especially to the authors of the current text-books on Diseases of the Nervous System, Therapeutics, and Electro - therapeutics. These have been freely drawn upon for material, but their presentation of the subject has been so often modified that the authors should not be held responsible for the state ments in their present form.
