Book Description
Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, Vol. 11: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences; April, 1882 This distinction is apt to be disregarded by the patients and their friends, who are naturally more impressed by the painful sequel of the fits, than by the quieter period which intervenes. Sometimes, too, the frequent recurrence of fits prevents the creation of any true interparoxysmal period some cases are excluded from the following enumeration on this account. It is not necessary for me to combat an opinion which at one time prevailed, to the effect that any mental infirmity which the patient might exhibit during the term of immunity, was in reality only the consequences of the outbreaks the effect of the fits. Such an explanation is imperfectly applicable even to the immediate sequel; both the explosion itself, which constitutes the fit, and the sequel which follows it, are alike indications of that defective control over the expenditure of nerve force, in which it is probable that the most important element in the malady consists. A similar explanation extends to another Opinion, which has been very justly discussed by Dr. Reynolds (on Epilepsy, p. Allowing that such condition [certain specified forms of mental impairment] are frequently found in epileptics, we ought to enquire whether they are really 'characteristic' of the disease; whether they are necessarily involved in the idea of epilepsy, and whether they may exist without epilepsy. They characterise epilepsy only so far as they are the result of the defect in the restraining function to which I have alluded; they will vary according to the degree to which that function is depressed, and also according to the particular centres involved in the depression.

Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, Vol. 26: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences; July to December, 1889 Not one of the least curious researches which might occupy us, a research even directly profitable, might be devoted to finding out how often in the records of our art some old, worn out notion, clothed in new language and coloured by the mental characteristics of its reviver, had been presented as new, only to meet its former fate - to be relegated to the land of the for gotten - perhaps to be again brought out and furbished up by some enthusiast whose energy overbalanced his acquirements.

Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, 1905, Vol. 57: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences This, then, is to be aimed at - a healthy nervous system, which will, embrace in its consequences due sensibility, motive power, nutritive and reparative power - conditions necessary to resist and overcome the morbid influence arising from the presence of tuberculous matter. Here is, then, he adds in a summary passage, first, nervous power altered, weakened or exhausted; then the destruction Of the remain ing tissues constituting the main substance Of the organ. To preserve the latter, the integrity and strength Of the former must be maintained; and upon the means necessary for that purpose the whole question turns. 1 The disease being a neuropathic necrosis, the treatment is a neurotonic oitalisa tion.

Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, Vol. 36: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences; July to December, 1894 I usually find that the heel comes down satisfactorily after division of the tendo Achillis except in relapsed cases, where it is necessary to sever the adhesions as far as possible, after which the manipulations are sufficient to bring the foot to beyond a right angle. To manipulate the right foot in all cases of varus and equino-varus, it should be held firmly by the surgeon with the left hand at the heel, the hand being supported by his knee. The ball of the left thumb should be over the cuboid, while with the right hand the anterior part of the foot is grasped and the eversion so effected at the transverse tarsal joint, and vice versa for the left, and not only at the ankle, as is usually done. (two cases were shewn, history and details of opera: tions read, and instruments and boots exhibited. The notes of one of these 'cases is given at the end of the paper, with photographs).

Excerpt from The Birmingham Medical Review, 1884, Vol. 15: A Monthly Journal of the Medical Sciences IN spite of the frequency of occurrence of the fracture generally known by the name of Abraham Colles, it is but seldom that an opportunity is afforded of making a dissection of the recent lesion. The following account may therefore be interesting, and the more so because there are still many vexed questions in connection with this fracture which can only be settled by the careful com parison of a larger number of recent dissections than have yet found their way into medical literature.
