Excerpt from Clinical Lectures on Neurasthenia
As was mentioned in the preface to the first edition, this work has no pretension to being a systematic treatise on Neurasthenia. Its main objects are to assist the student and practitioner in the diagnosis and treatment of the malady, and to attract more professional attention to the subject. The prominence given to the disease in recent systematic works on medicine is now more in accordance with its importance.
The favour accorded by the profession to the first edition of these clinical lectures, both in this country and in America, has for some considerable time necessitated their re-issue. I was, therefore, placed in a dilemma - either the lectures must be reprinted as they were, or I must wait until the time at my disposal and the necessary health should enable me to revise and bring them up to date.
In these circumstances I have been extremely fortunate in obtaining the assistance of Mr. J. H. Tomlinson, whose long experience as my Clinical Assistant at the Hospital for Diseases of the Nervous System render him peculiarly fitted for the task.
