Excerpt from Diseases of the Nervous System For this reason the literature of our school has been diligently searched for remedies which are indicated, and'also those giving some clinical basis for their employment. For the same reason the adjuvant and palliative agents, from all sources, have not been neglected, since the relief of suffering and deformity may be the only assistance which we can offer to many who come to us for relief. Under the conditions attending the compilation of this book, it was not feasible to denote the origin of data in the majority of instances, but the writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to the many contribu tors of articles upon the several subjects in recent current literature, and especially to the authors of the current text-books on Diseases of the Nervous System, Therapeutics, and Electro - therapeutics. These have been freely drawn upon for material, but their presentation of the subject has been so often modified that the authors should not be held responsible for the state ments in their present form.
