Synopsis

Delve into the early science of spasmodic and nervous disorders with practical guidance for diagnosis and care.

This medical text surveys the practice of physic as it relates to spasm, convulsions, and related nervous conditions. It presents a structured approach to symptoms, causes, and treatments, reflecting the clinical thinking of its era while offering insights into how practitioners understood motor and mental illnesses.

  • Learn how spasmodic affections are classified and described, including tonic and clonic forms.
  • Explore discussions of mania, melancholia, and other forms of insanity, and how temperament may influence treatment.
  • See how doctors linked symptoms to nerves, muscles, and bodily functions in a holistic, if historic, clinical framework.
  • Gauge the historical methods and remedies used in managing fever, delirium, and related disorders.
Ideal for readers of medical history and classic clinical texts who want a window into early modern approaches to neurology and psychiatry.
