Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Practical Treatise on Nervous Diseases for the Medical Student and General Practitioner
This text-book on Nervous Diseases has been written for the student and general practitioner. It has ever been the object to curtail details of the doubtful points in neurology and to make most in small compass of practical facts in the study of nervous disorders. We believe that this is the surest method of instilling knowledge of so intricate a subject. The chapter on anatomy and physiology has been blended, so that its study will insure a pretty clear understanding of the anatomy and functions of the various parts ofthe nervous system. I have to thank my col league, Prof. Isaac Ott, for the physiological details given. I beg to acknowledge, among many other authorities, special reference to the works of Gowcrs, Mills, Dana, Barker, Osler, and Strum pell, to the latter three of which the author is also indebted for several cuts, for which credit is given in the text. I gratefully acknowledge the kindness for the use of illustrations from The Diagnostics of Internal Medicine, bv Dr. G. R. Butler, and Acci dent and Injury, hv Dr. Pearce Bailey, respectively; also to Dr. M. K. Kassabian and Dr. G. E. Pfahler for the X-ray produc tions and some of the photographs.
