The Scope of Neurology in the Nineteenth Century Diseases of Importance As the clinical specialty of neurology developed in America, the types of disorders cared for by the practicing specialist included a mixture of disorders considered today neurological and psychiatric. Under the direction of SW Mitchell, the Philadelphia Infirmary for Nervous Diseases maintained one of the most detailed sets of case books for the period, showing that in 1871, typical diagnoses included locomotor ataxia, hemiplegia, chorea, local palsies, convulsive disorders, neuralgia and encephalitis. A number of disorders were of particular interest to American neurologists and helped to establish United States neurology in the international arena. Post-traumatic neuropathies and neurological disorders among women were specialties of SW Mitchell, and Hammond was celebrated for his studies of insomnia and athetosis. B. Sachs developed an expertise in pediatric neurology and FX Dercum acquired much of his reputation based on his gait studies. Neurological Diseases The diagnoses contained in case books from the Philadelphia Infirmary for Nervous Diseases included locomotor ataxia, hemiplegia, chorea, local palsies, infantile palsies, adult paralysis, convulsive diseases, neuralgia, epilepsy, and encephalitis. In addition, there are several cases labeled malingering.

Cerebral palsy is a general term for a variety of disorders caused by damage to the brain. The damage occurs before or during birth or in the first few years of life. The brain damage may cause severe crippling or total paralysis, or the symptoms may be so mild that they hardly interfere with the patient's activities. There are several types of cerebral palsy, and all involve lack of muscle control. Common effects of the disorder include a clumsy walk, lack of balance, shaking, jerky movements, and unclear speech. In many patients, the brain damage also causes mental retardation, learning disability, seizures, and problems in sight and hearing. A definitive diagnosis of cerebral palsy may not be made until the child is between one and two years old. About half of 1 per cent of the people in the world have cerebral palsy. Causes. In most cases, the causes of faulty growth of the brain that result in cerebral palsy cannot be determined. In some cases, however, brain damage may result from illness in the mother during pregnancy. For example, German measles can severely harm an unborn child, even though the mother may have had only mild symptoms or none at all during pregnancy. Faulty growth of the child's brain may occur if the mother is severely malnourished during pregnancy. Cerebral palsy is rarely an inherited trait.

Green (go to French original Translator's Note I have made an explicit attempt to keep this translation as literal as possible, which accounts for some of its clumsiness in English. For instance, I have rendered " " as "articulated language" throughout, rather than as the perhaps more felicitous "spoken language," in order to maintain the technical style, and to distinguish it from the more colloquial " ." I have also refrained from using the seemingly more felicitous, but less precise, "articulate language." In addition, I have often used "ill people" for " malade s" rather than "patients," especially in the first half of the article, because it emphasizes their condition rather than their relationship to the physician. I have also tried to retain the archaic vocabulary as much as possible. Special thanks to Classics Editorial Assistant, Daniel Denis, whose recommendations improved the translation immeasurably. -cdg-

Chemistry of semen, spermatozoa and brain Neurasthenia and lecithin deficiency Download the full text version of this report Neurasthenia and lecithin deficiency That neurasthenia is the result of lecithin starvation of nerve cells, due to sexual withdrawals of lecithin, is indicated by Dr. Bernard Talmey, eminent American sexologist, in a paper entitled, "Sexual Problems of Today, with a Case of Hysterical Insanity Caused by Excessive Masturbation," in which he writes: "The percentage of neurasthenia of sexual origin is so large that it is always well in the presence of this anomaly to look for sex as a fruitful cause. *There is an intimate relation between the genitals and the head*... The two perversions, masturbation and onanism (congressus interruptus of Onan) are oftener the cause of the general breakdown than excesses in normal sex life. Of these two, masturbation is the more dangerous because its practice usually begins in the immature child, and if indulged in to excess, leads to fatigue and exhaustion of the central nervous system." On the same subject, writing on the causes of nervous debility, Dr. Frederick Humphrey says that it "is almost invariably the result of some drain upon the vital forces, such as excesses of various kinds: excessive morbid indulgence, involuntary losses of vital fluids, too long and too constant excitement of the sexual system, and more especially when such indulgences are allowed in connection with mental and physical overwork. Nervous debility is often brought on in young persons by the habit of masturbation, which, if persisted in from time to time, is inevitably followed by consequences immediate and remote, and are of the most formidable character. It is safe to say that multitudes are every year brought into the most deplorable condition of nervous debility from these very pernicious practices alone."

The purity is, of course, true love. taste aside, Potter is simply, unabashedly smitten with everything to do with Moxie the word; the idea, the history, the spirit, the promotional stunts, the songs, the scandals, the collectibles (much better than Coke "the creme de la cream of soda pop collectibles"), the whole mise-en-scene, if you will, of American pep. I don't know Potter's politics and couldn't care less, but as with all obsessive ardor there's a secret, tangy yearning that could be subversive: "Hot dogs, baseball, apple pie and Chevrolet are fine as far as they go," he writes in a preface, "but moxie goes deeper, wider, higher. Let's hope its mystique will never die." I'm a seltzer man myself (martinis on the side), but I tell you, I'm entranced.

Early American Manual Therapy The Art of Massage J. H. Kellogg, M.D. RULES RELATING TO MASSAGE Correct Use of Terms . - In speaking of massage or its application, be careful to use correct terms (pp. 238, 239). Good Health Necessary . - Of all persons, one who administers massage should have perfect health. The so-called magnetism which renders some persons so much more successful than others in massage, as well as in other callings, is largely the outgrowth of the vivacity, freshness, good cheer and good nature which result from abounding health. A few things of special importance in this relation are proper diet; healthful, loose, and appropriate clothing; a daily cool morning sponge bath; and daily out-of-door exercise. 3. Personal Cleanliness. - Massage is hard work, equal to almost any form of manual labor. A masseur who does his duty will perspire vigorously; hence the necessity of due attention to personal cleanliness. Cleansing of the skin may be promoted by the addition of a little carbonate of ammonia to the water used for the morning bath. When one perspired freely, stockings and underclothing should be changed daily. After airing for a day or two, the same garment may be worn again for a day. Special attention must also be given to the hands, teeth, and also the nasal cavity, if a catarrhal condition is present, and to the hair and scalp. The Hands . - Good hands are necessary for success in massage. The hands must be soft, warm, dry, strong, and elastic. A bony, sweaty, hard, or calloused hand is exceedingly objectionable. The hands should also be free from blemishes, such as warts, abrasions, chaps, etc. The nails should be trimmed close. Absolute cleanliness, is the best means of promoting a healthy state of the skin of the hands, as well as, other parts. A perfectly clean hand is not likely to chap. Always wash the hands just before giving massage; doing so, if convenient, in the presence of the patient, or at least with his knowledge. Always wash the hands a second time just before manipulating the head, face, or neck, if the hands have been used upon other parts since washing. The following lotions are valuable for keeping the hands in a healthy state:-
