Book Description

About the Book

This book is simply a stepping stone, a brief sketch of those nervous diseases that are most commonly met in general practice. The author has attempted to give a picture of each disease sufficiently clear to enable the student to recognize it.

Preface

The earnest requests, oft repeated and almost unanimous, coming from the students to whom it has been my privilege to lecture on the subject of neurology during several years, that I put my lectures in book form is my apology for offering this little work to the profession. No claim is made for completeness or perfection, but as the name indicates it is simply the stepping stones, a brief sketch of those nervous diseases that are most commonly met in general practice.

I have attempted to give a picture of each disease sufficiently clear to enable the student to recognize it, and have eliminated all superfluous matter. This will obviate the necessity of the student reading several pages of chaff in order to get a single grain of wheat. An attempt also has been made to so present the subject that it will not appear as a general jumble of mysterious statements calculated only to confuse instead of instruct.

The arrangement is the simplest possible, and at the same time it is such as to be most easily comprehended, The generals are given first in the definition, varieties, when there are more than one;. then the etiology. This is followed by the morbid anatomy. If the student has his anatomy and physiology he will, by the morbid anatomy, be enabled to tell the symptoms from that alone before studying: the symptomatology in the book. After the symptoms comes the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment.

The treatment, both general and medicinal, is given with only those remedies that the author has found most frequently indicated, together with their leading indications. The homoeopathic treatment is emphasized in all respects.

I trust that the profession will accept the book in the spirit in which it is written, and be charitable in criticism, and frank in the correction of any errors that may appear, so that they may be eliminated from any possible future edition.
