Bookplate tipped to front paste-down. Some minor toning along the margins otherwise a good copy. "Horner's syndrome" due to lesion of the cervical sympathetic. The same syndrome was evoked in animals by Parfour du Petit in 1727 see No. 1313. It is a proof that the sympathetic governs the pupillary vasomotor sudomotor and pilomotor functions. It was also described by Claude Bernard Leçons sur la physiologie et la pathologie du système nerveux 1858 2 473-74 and less impressively by E.S. Hare Lond. med. Gaz. 1838-9 1 16-18 featured here. Garrison-Morton.com No. 5903. Hare was the first to describe this syndrome yet he died at the age of 26 from typhus - just one day before this paper was published. He has no claim to priority over Horner since he was not aware that the ocular symptoms in the case which he described were due to paralysis of the sympathetic. Fulton J.F.
