Book Description
Excerpt from Wood's Medical and Surgical Monographs, Vol. 5 The word "neuralgia" means simply "nerve pain" such pain may be due to actual disease of a nerve trunk, by which its fibres are irritated, or it may occur without any organic lesion. It is true that the absence of such morbid change cannot often be proved by actual microscopical examination, but the transient character of the pain, and its migration from one part to another, frequently afford strong confirmation of the opinion that, in a large number of the cases of local nerve pain, the symptoms are not due to actual organic change. Two classes of neuralgias have been distinguished - "symptomatic," in which the pain is a symptom of organic disease of the nerves, and "idiopathic," in which the malady, in the first instance, at least, consists only in functional disturbance. Both of these forms have been called "neuralgia" by some writers. By others, however, the term is restricted to the idiopathic class, and this seems to be the only logical course. It is manifestly unreasonable to describe inflammation of nerves as "neuralgia" when it causes much pain and few other symptoms, and as "neuritis" when other symptoms predominate over pain. But the distinction of the two forms of nerve pain is often very difficult in practice. In some forms described as neuralgia, the pain has certainly been generally the result of neuritis. This is the case, for instance, with sciatica, which is generally an inflammation of the nerve. Yet, not only has the common form of sciatica been described as a neuralgia, but its symptoms have been allowed to influence the description of neuralgia in general.

Some seven or eight years ago, being a regular. Sufferer from a severe form of migraine, and obtaining only inadequate relief from much advice and many drugs, I began to make careful notes of the circumstances of my trouble, and to regard especially all foods, drugs, exercise, and other conditions which had any real or supposed connection with it. For a long time there was little result, till on giving up meat, I at once found the intervals between the attacks prolonged, and persistence in this change of diet gradually produced almost complete immunity - an immunity which continues to the present time, but only so long as the diet is adhered to; and I have now been for six or seven years an almost total abstainer from butcher's meat, beer, wine, and cheese; though I have to some extent replaced the meat by an increased quantity of milk and fish; but even now any serious infringement of these diet rules is pretty sure to be followed by a headache. The results I Obtained by leaving Off meat and the relation ship noticed by many Observers between this headache and gout, led me to examine the urinary excreta.

Book Description
Excerpt from Wood's Medical and Surgical Monographs, Vol. 9 Very numerous experiments have been made on dogs into whose pylorus a fistula was established. The food was passed through this fistula into the duodenum, while the opening of the stomach was closed by an obturator. It was easy to keep these animals alive and in good health and nutrition, although the food was unacted on by the stomach, and digestion was exclusively intestinal. It was found that raw flesh was digested far more rapidly in the intestine than in the stomach. In one experiment there disappeared from the stomach in two hours 53 percent, from the intestine 85.7 percent, of the introduced nitrogen. Boiled eggs, rubbed up with salt solution, and boiled connective tissue, as skin, were well digested by the pancreas; while boiled flesh, raw connective tissue, and (curiously) finely-divided casein were not digested in the intestine, but caused diarrh a and were soon expelled. It would appear, then, from these observations, as if the digestive function of the stomach was not indispensable; and, in view of this, another function has recently been assigned to the organ which is, it is maintained, far more important than that of digesting proteids. The prominence given by recent researches to the action of micro-organisms is very great, and we are familiar with the idea that the greater part of the struggle for existence consists in a continuous warfare with these bodies. We know that every article of food or drink we take swarms with them, and the question naturally arose. How are the worst forms of putrefaction prevented in our intestines? How do we exist for a day without infection from the various pathogenic organisms which must perpetually find their way down our sophagus? We know that micrococci and bacteria thrive badly or are killed in an acid medium, and it has been supposed that the stomach, by virtue of its acid secretion, serves as a guard at the upper end of the alimentary canal to arrest or kill off the swallowed germs, which, if allowed passage into the intestine, would there induce abnormal putrefactions or give rise to other abnormal conditions.
