Item description from seller

Transactions of the Congress of American Physicians and Surgeon, 1891. - New Haven. 1892, 8°, pp.144-146, fine wrappers. Rare Offprint! Neuropathology - "Osler's medical career was founded on solid pathological observation and his neurological contributions were usually backed up by careful neuropathological study. His interest in neuropathology was not casual - he wrote several papers on neuropathological methods, including an elegant study on the interstitial processes of the central nervous system which included detailed discussion on connective tissues in the nervous system and how they are involved in degenerative, inflammatory and developmental disorders. (Osler 1879; Osler 1892c). His studies on gliomas led him to doubt Klebs' contention that the nerve cells were involved in proliferation (Osler 1885-86). Asa working neuropathologist he became aware of and learned many of the new German methods for study of the brain during his visits to Europe. Osler liked to indulge in "quinquennial brain dustings" and his visit to Europe in 1890 with Ramsey Wright of the University of Toronto was typical of this. Of special interest in the present context are the number of neurological figures he visited at that time. These included Strumpel, Weigert, Von Recklinghausen, Naunyn, Goltz, Edinger, Erb, Dejerine and Bouchard among others. He was impressed with Weidershein's use of different colours of chalk for teaching neuroanatomy and may have adopted this on his return (Osler 1890c). On one of his visits to Charcot's hospitals he was amused by Charcot's attempt to use hypnotism to cure a man with club feet of his inability to walk. He also observed hypnosis at the hands of Luys, a well known neurologist, who hynotized one of his nurses into giving a lecture on neuropathology, a feat which she performed but with which Osler was very much unimpressed, telling Ramsay Wright that this was "a circus"." George C. Ebers, Osler and Neurology. Can. J. Neurol. Sci., 12 (1985): pp.236-242 Golden & Roland 340 (1892c).
