Date | 1878 |
Description | Ord shares the results of a series of experiments which were founded upon considerations offered by chorea, tetanus, and similar diseases; certain clinical facts and post-mortem observations having led the author to suppose that the occurrence of protoplasmic convulsion or spasm in the grey matter of the nervous system was consistent with the morbid appearances and with the history of cases.
