Manual of Nervous Diseases and an Introduction to Medical Electricity (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Manual of Nervous Diseases and an Introduction to Medical Electricity A long experience in clinical teaching has convinced me that the standard works on diseases of the nervous system are little suited to the wants Of the beginner, who is not prepared to profit by the study Of elaborate treatises. This conviction prompted the preparation of the present work, in which I have endeavored to present in a concise manner the established facts and current theories relating to nervous affections. To this end, in addition to the matter furnished by my own Observations, I have freely used the most approved contributions to medical literature that deal with the subjects in hand.
