Later cloth-backed boards. Uncut. Authorial manuscript corrections throughout. Presentation inscription from the author. Some foxing, small hole on title. First edition of this ambitious doctoral thesis on phlebotomy to treat concussion. Going against medical canon, the author asserts that concussions and brain compression are essentially the same thing and should be treated as such. Drawing on contemporary ideas about the relationship between the body and spirit, Hicks goes on to suggest that certain characteristics, such as sedentariness, corpulence, addiction, and even exposure to electricity, predispose individuals to brain compression and that symptoms that present like a concussion may actually be an excess of "nervous energy." Thus, he recommends trying a good sleep and detox before drilling a hole in the cranium. Evans 25602; NLM 907; ESTC W12856.
