A clear, clinical look at diagnosing and treating functional nervous disorders, with practical ideas from a 19th‑century physician.
In this medical treatise, Brown-Séquard explores how epilepsy and other nervous conditions arise from the nervous system itself. The text presents observations on the links between fever, sleep, asphyxia, and convulsions, and discusses how reflexes and blood flow influence symptoms. It includes historical and case examples that highlight both diagnosis and therapeutic ideas, offering a window into early approaches to nervous disease.
Readers will encounter practical considerations tied to treatment and prevention, such as how to reduce asphyxia during fits and the potential value of physical and surgical interventions alongside hygienic care. The material blends theory with reported cases to illuminate how clinicians think about functional nervous affections.
Ideal for readers of medical history and students of neurology who want to understand early diagnostic and therapeutic reasoning in functional nervous disorders.
