Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nervous Diseases and Magnetic Therapeutics To define Nervous Diseases critically, is as perplexing as to explain insanity itself. It is hard to find the proper starting-point and to fix the limit, on one side of which is the nervous complaint, and on the other almost everything else. There is a period in almost everyone's history, when a rigid judgment would set him down as not altogether in his right mind. Semel insanavimus omnes. In pathological conditions, the tone of the nervous system is impaired; and the question is at once brought home to the philosophical practitioner, who cannot content himself with a superficial diagnosis, whether the complaint, in whatever form, is not substantially and originally nervous.
