LECTURES

ON

DISEASES OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY IN WOMEN.

Preface

The lectures which compose this volume deal chiefly with some of the rarer maladies, or forms of maladies, of women. Many of them are original studies of well-known diseases, and others deal with subjects which have been hitherto slighted in medical literature or which are almost unknown to it.

I desire to express my thanks for very valuable aid to my colleague Dr. "Whartox Sinkler, to Professor Horatio C. Wood, to Dr. Louis Starr, and especially to Dr. Morris J. Lewis.

Contents

LECTURE I.

THE PARALYSES OF HYSTERIA.
