Excerpt from The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Vol. 52: An American Journal of Neurology and Psychiatry, Founded in 1874; July December 1920 Historia Morbi. - D. P., a child of the feminine sex, was born on January 26, 1910. The first child of the mother, being in transverse presentation, was born by version and extraction; the second child was born by the same manipulation; the third and the fourth child were born spontaneously, but the fifth, our patient, being in transverse position, was again born by version and extraction. The doctor, when summoned, stated a first cross-presentation (dorso-anterior) and a prolapse of the umbilical cord and of one arm; the dilatation of the os externum was 7 cm. The child lived; version and extraction were performed, and by Muller's method, the after-coming shoulders were delivered. The head offered some difficulties, the child was asphyctic and was revived with some difficulty. The method used was not stated. Three days post partum, the mother noticed three ulcers on the child's rump, which grew rapidly larger and deeper. Soon afterwards she observed that the child moved its legs only feebly. According to the mother, the child had never been seen to move its lower legs, feet or toes, but she is -sure that the child could flex the thighs on both sides, though only weakly. She had not tested the sensibility, but the child, when 11/2 years old, had burned its lower leg seriously, without feeling any pain. Though it grew up prosperously (except for the lower extremities, of course) and appeared to be very intelligent, it continued to show a complete incontinentia alvi et urinae. July 2, 1912: On account of the paralysis of the legs and the decubitus, the child was brought to hospital on September 11, 1912. Of the status praesens, I have found the following notes: The head and the arms are quite normal. Intellect also normal. Motility. - The legs are spastic and paretic, both can be moved very weakly (unfortunately it was not noted what muscles still functioned). Walking and standing quite impossible. Reflexes. - The knee and ankle-jerks of both sides are greatly exaggerated. The phenomenon of Babinski is positive on both sides. Sensibility. - The tactile sense does not seem to have been examined (perhaps the child was too young to give correct answers). Pain sense not completely lost in the legs, but much decreased. Thermic sense lost in the legs and the gluteal region. Deep sensibility not examined. Large and deep bedsore on the sacrum.

Excerpt from The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Vol. 3: January, 1876 In choosing the subject, The Brain not the Sole Organ 'of the Mind, it appears to be necessary that I should in the first place, as clearly as possible, express my ideas relative to the connection between the mind and the nervous system, and of the nature of that power which in its full development places man at the head of all other animals.

Excerpt from The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1908, Vol. 35 Sensibility: The tactile sense was found to be absolutely unimpaired in the affected right hand. This sense was tested by the von Frey method; that is, by means of single hairs of different stiffness and also with the camel's hair brush and cotton wool. No difference whatsoever between the sense of tactile sensibility in the normal left hand and affected right hand could be recognized. The slightest touch that could be perceived in one hand could be perceived in the other, and the patient himself could recognize no difference in the tactile perceptions whether tested by a single hair or by the other tests. Temperature sense tested by test tubes filled with warm and cold water, and pain s'ense tested by the prick of a pin were also found to be normal in the affected hand.
