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.

Includes read-aloud narration with live word highlighting.
