Excerpt from On The Various Forms Of Paralysis And Their Treatment I have two main objects in writing the following paper. The first is to call attention to certain varieties of paralysis which have only late]y been recognised, and the knowledge about which has not yet become part of the common stock. The second is to consider those of our medicines which have caused and cured paralysis, and to endeavour to allot to each its true place in relation to the several forms of the disease. As a preliminary to the latter investigation, however, it will be necessary briefly to survey the whole subject, and to get connected view of the chief causes and conditions under which paralysis may occur.
