Publisher's Synopsis
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 chie?y 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.
