Excerpt from Philadelphia Medical Times, Vol. 6: A Bi-Weekly Journal of Medical and Surgical Science; August 5, 1876 Dr. Mitchell had no doubt that there was a chorea from minute arterial embolism, and that it sometimes arose from thrombosis. He had seen a gentleman who, having had syph ilis several years before, bad right hemiplegia and aphasia. He became entirely well, and the next summer had suddenly left unilateral chorea, followed by mental disturbances of very unusual nature. They became entirely well under anti-syphilitic treatment in less than six weeks; and this was, he believed, a case of thrombosis, and one of great rarity.
