Excerpt from A Treatise on Neuralgic Diseases: Dependent Upon Irritation of the Spinal Marrow and Ganglia of the Sympathetic NerveThe same pathological principle is, I believe, equally applicable to the sympathetic system of nerves, and although it may be difficult to establish this opinion by actual experiment, yet I think it may be rested upon a well-grounded analogy, which will justify us in regard ing the nervous masses of the ganglionic system as bear ing the same relation to the nerves derived from them.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
