Excerpt from Serology of Nervous and Mental Diseases

The credit for first withdrawing cerebrospinal fluid from a patient ought, properly, by right of priority, to go to an American physician, Dr. J. L. Corning, who performed the puncture in Essex Wynter conceived the plan Of diminishing intracranial pressure by performing ventricular puncture. Later, in a patient in whom the fontanels had prematurely closed, and it was desirable to diminish the intracranial pressure, the Spinal route had to be resorted to for the purpose of withdrawing the cerebrospinal fluid. This was performed in 1889, and although the technic2 was crude, it nevertheless served as a stimulus to other workers further to elaborate the study of lumbar puncture. The first paper by Quincke on the technic of lumbar puncture and the study of the cerebrospinal fluid appeared in 1891. The thoroughness with which the subject was treated, and the painstaking studies that followed on the steps of the German investigator, justify the coupling of his name with the Operation of lumbar puncture, in fact, with the entire subject of research work done on the cerebrospinal fluid. Following closely the publications of Quincke appeared those of Sicard, Nissl, and others.

Excerpt from Serology of Nervous and Mental Diseases

In reviewing the literature in book form it became apparent that there is no American work covering the subject of serology in nervous and mental diseases. Scattered articles of merit are to be found in general and special periodicals, but a collection of the material in one volume is sadly wanting. I, therefore, thought that it would meet with the approval of physicians, particularly neurologists and psychiatrists, to have a volume in which some of their queries might be answered. The chief stimulus to write such a book came from Dr. M. J. Karpas, of the Psychiatric Division at Bellevue Hospital, to whom I wish to express my sincere thanks. I am also indebted to Dr. H. Noguchi for photographs and suggestions. The cooperation of the Medical Officers of the Institute helped greatly in furthering the completion of this work, and I wish to close with thanks to them.
