Extract

In the introductory remarks contained in the previous portion of this essay, I said that, as far as possible, I would refrain from referring to the condition of the nervous centres as seen after death, except to explain the nature of certain phenomena seen in these diseases during life. Having arrived at the second portion of my subject, I shall draw attention to the condition of the brain and spinal cord where death has been the result of an epileptic fit, or while the patient has been in what is now so well understood as the Status Epilepticus.
