GARRISON'S HISTORY OF NEUROLOGY

Abstract

Dr. McHenry is unusual among young neurologists in having cultivated an avid interest in the history of medicine ever since his student days. When he was a resident in training at Boston City Hospital, he delighted us with essays published in the New England Journal of Medicine. The history of neurology has been greatly neglected. The little-known text of the late Fielding Garrison was unique and long out of print. It began with an interesting discussion of the eternal dilemma of the ancients, the seat of the mind and of the soul, but was for the rest a compilation of information already avail.
