A Statistical Inquiry Into the Nature and Treatment of Epilepsy
Alexander Hughes Bennett
Numbers, not anecdotes, drive this Victorian study of epilepsy. Alexander Hughes Bennett tabulates cases to map predisposing and exciting causes, distinguishes the graver and milder forms of the disease, and tests how bromide treatment actually performed on recorded attacks. An early model of statistical medicine applied to a feared condition. Watch evidence begin to discipline neurology.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
