Abstract

By bringing the following cases before the profession, I desire to drawattention to a certain morbidnerve conditionwhicb, frombeing somewhat rare, has up to the present time been very imperfectly studied, and in consequence its nature is still obscure. And I do so all the more readily seeing that every item, however small, is of value in helping to unravel the mystery of a disease which, from not presenting any definite physical signs, might by some be called a mere functional derangement, notwithstanding its leading to a rapidly fatal result.
