Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Use of the Ophthalmoscope in Diseases of the Nervous System and of the Kidneys: Also in Certain Other General Disorders
Mr. Swanzy and Mr. Hutchinson have enabled me to enrich my pages with the coloured drawings of the choked disk and of neuritis in lead poisoning, which were executed for them by Dr. Fitzgerald and Mr. Burgess. My colleague and friend Mr. Teale, again, has placed me under obligations which are as enduring as they are pleasant to be bound withal, for he has given himself, his experience, and his materials so generously and so continuously to me, that I can no longer define between that which is my own and that which really belongs to him. To Mr. Oglesby's patient and intelligent industry I am much indebted for the continuous observation and notes of many cases in which I was interested. Dr. Crichton Browne, the Medical Su perintendent of the West Riding Asylum, has associated himself so thoroughly with my work, and, by his aid in many ways, especially in the supply and description of pa thological specimens, has so fully and so unselfishly contri buted to my undertakings, that I only fear, in giving him the thanks which are due to him, to make it too clear how disproportionate are his benefits to my accomplishments. At the North Riding Asylum, Dr. Christie has in like manner placed himself and his materials at my disposal on more than one occasion.
