Excerpt from General Paralysis of the Insane
This work was written in 1878, but other engagements inter vened and prevented the completion of the final ms. I have, therefore, added references to a few more recent papers, and to Voisin's systematic treatise on the subject; all of which have appeared in the earlier parts of 1879.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of "general paralysis of the insane," a neurological disorder prominent in the late 19th century. The author meticulously examines its many facets, from historical context and varying definitions to the intricate interplay of physical and mental symptoms. The exploration extends beyond mere classification, venturing into the depths of human experience as it unravels the emotional and moral dimensions of the disease. Cases of expansive delusions, where patients harbor grandiose beliefs of wealth and power, are contrasted with those marked by melancholic depression and hypochondria. The author's keen observations shed light on the progressive nature of the disorder, tracing its trajectory from subtle behavioral changes to profound cognitive decline. Through detailed analysis and vivid descriptions, this book offers a comprehensive understanding of a condition that once posed significant challenges to medical science and society. Its insights into the intricate relationship between the mind and body remain relevant, underscoring the enduring impact of neurological disorders on human lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
