Book Description
Excerpt from On Certain Conditions of Nervous Derangement: Somnambulism, Hypnotism, Hysteria, Hysteroid, Affections, Etc A book, published in 1876, having for the last two years been out of print, I have taken the opportunity afforded by the demand for a new edition - which would long ago have been complied with but for the stress of other engagements - to thoroughly revise the work, and while adding largely to the subjects now considered, to make it more homogeneous by omitting everything specially relating to spiritualism. The interesting conditions of which the present volume treats are being very attentively studied both in this country and in Europe, and ought to be brought to the knowledge of the general reader. They are the fields upon which the miracle-worker expends his most energetic labor, for he knows something of the forms under which they are manifested, and he also knows that by making adroit use of them he can deceive thousands of innocent but ignorant people to his own advantage, and that of any system which requires miracles for its establishment or aggrandizement. As a knowledge of the conditions in question becomes more diffused, the ability to work miracles will be correspondingly diminished, and in the hope of contributing to these ends this little book is written.

Medically Unexplained Symptoms

ISBN: 3030591816
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 216
Book Description
Despite the rapid advances in medical science, the majority of people who visit a doctor have medically unexplained symptoms (MUS), symptoms that remain a mystery despite extensive diagnostic studies. The most common MUS are back pain, abdominal pain, headache, fatigue, and dizziness. This book addresses the obstacles of managing people with MUS in our modern day society from both a historical and contemporary perspective. Most MUS are psychosomatic in origin, caused by a complex interaction between nature and nurture, between biological and psychosocial factors. Psychosomatic symptoms are as real and as severe as the symptoms associated with structural damage to the brain. Unique and concise, the book explores the biological and psychosocial mechanisms, the clinical features, and current and future treatments of common MUS. Exploring the unsolved in an accessible manner, Medically Unexplained Symptoms invokes the methodologies of medical science, history, and sociology to investigate how brain flaws can lead to debilitating symptoms.

Not illustrated. 1883 edition. Excerpt: ... flesh. Nevertheless, the virgin had at times her moments of loathing. " And then," says Gorres, "she did what perhaps no one had ever done before her--she drank the pus and the filthy discharges which she had sucked from the wound. She subsequently declared to her confessor that she had never drank in all her life a more agreeable beverage." We see, therefore, that four hundred years before Charlotte Laporte began her horrible operations, there was a proto-sucker in the person of one of the most worthy saints of the Calendar. MM. Mauriac and Verdalle give a very interesting account of an ecstatic woman, who daily enacted the passion of Jesus, terminating in the usual manner in the crucifixion. This woman, Berguille, had been of good health till, in 1871, she lost one of her children. A short time afterward she began to have visions of her child every night, and then she was seized with obstinate vomitings, which were only cured by drinking the water of Lourdes, ordinary therapeutics not having been very efficacious. In a short time she began to have paroxysms of ecstasy. In these, there were more or less profound abolition of sensibility, general and special, and hallucinations of various kinds. At first these seizures were at no fixed intervals of time, but after a while they occurred regularly on Friday and in the afternoon. The duration was in the beginning only a few minutes, but latterly they got to lasting several hours. Like many other ecstatics, Berguille was devoted to making predictions both in religion and politics. Unfortunately for her reputation, nothing that she foretold ever came to pass. Thus, on the 26th of july, 1873, she said, "The great king, the most Christian king, promised to France, ...
