Excerpt from The Brain and Its Diseases, Vol. 1: Syphilis of the Brain and Spinal Cord; Showing the Part Which This Agent Plays in the Production of Paralysis, Epilepsy, Insanity, Headache, Neuralgia, Hysteria, Hypochondriasis, and Other Mental and Nervous Derangements I am indebted to my past colleagues at the Central London Sick Asylum, Highgate, for much valuable assistance in the field of pathology, and to the then excellent staff of Nightingale nurses, without whose vigilance and kind co-operation many of the minute clinical records would not have been fully brought under my observation. My best thanks are due to Dr. And Mr. Kesteven, for their help in microscopic pathological examinations; to Dr. Liebreich and Dr. Long Fox for permission to use their valuable plates; and to the publishers for their uniform courtesy and attention.
