The Morison Lectures on NERVOUS SEMEIOLOGY, WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO EPILEPSY

OF NEURAL FUNCTION. PASSING attention has already been directed to the general division of nervous symptoms, whatever their order, into those expressive of increase and decrease, respectively, of niervous function. The classification is applicable as well to those of the neuro-synmpathetic system as of the psychical .series.
