Clinical Observations On Functional Nervous Disorders Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Functional Disorders of the Nervous System in Women The attention of the profession has been confined of late years too exclusively to surgical gynaecology and to diseases with marked pathological changes. Great strides have been made in the development of these branches of medical science. They have had many able exponents. Less has been written on medical gynaecology, although a subject equally deserving of research and one which will abundantly reward the scientific investigator. There are many important nervous disorders in women without determinable anatomical changes in either the brain or spinal cord. Although there is no interesting anatomico-pathological history to be detailed in such cases, they are so common, and cause so much suffering, that we must give them the share of attention they deserve. They are not usually found in hospitals but are seen frequently in private practice, and very often in the upper strata of society. The observations which follow have no claim to completeness on the subject. It is only intended to draw the attention to a class of affections which is frequently seen, and not so minutely described as the important organic diseases and surgical affections.
