He passionately recommended operating on patients with spinal tumors as the alternative - conservative treatment - was associatedwith a very high mortality: 74%of patients with unoperated extradural tumors and 83% of patients with unoperated intradural tumors died due to respiratory failure pneumonia urinary septicemia or decubitus ulcera to mention the commonest causes of death. Horsley was convinced that surgery could prevent grave complications and death for a significant number of patients even given the prevailing enormous diagnostic and technical restraints. His paper was so stimulating that Starr could report on 19 spinal tumor operations as early as 1895 adding three cases of his own. Eleven of these however died from postoperative complications.With increasing experience however mortality figures could be reduced."

"The localization of brain functions has been raised from the level of an hypothesis to that of a definitely ascertained fact within the past ten years. Meynert was the first to discard the doctrine of Flourens that the brain acted as a whole and on anatomical grounds declared that different portions possessed different powers. The study of aphasia led French observers independently to the same result. Fritsch and Hitzig in Germany and Ferrier in England arrived at a similar conclusion soon after by means of their well-known physiological experiments upon animals and the results reached by them have been confirmed in a most striking manner by Munk Dalton and others. But while anatomical study demonstrating a connection between various organs of the body and definite regions of the surface of the brain may furnish grounds for a priori reasoning as to the function of those regions; and while physiological experiments upon animals may afford valuable suggestions as to the probable effect of limited brain disease in man an accurate determination of the question of localization can only be reached by a study of clinical cases. The appreciation of this fact has led Charcot Ferrier Nothnagel Exner Wernicke and others to collect the cases on record in which a limited area of disease whose position was determined by a careful autopsy had given rise to definite symptoms. From the comparison and classification of these eases certain general conclusions have been reached and it is now possible to refer many symptoms occurring in the course of brain disease to a destruction of a definite area of the surface."

Robert Starr: "Recent research in cerebral physiology has been directed toward the subject of the localization of sensory areas on the cortex of the brain and has been productive of many very interesting discoveries. The investigations of Wernicke and Stilling in the anatomy of the brain and the observations of numerous pathologists in cases of hemianopsia have confirmed in such a striking manner the conclusions of the physiologist Munk regarding the cortical area governing vision that a summary of the facts deserves attention. A knowledge of these facts is necessary both for the exact examination of cases and for an accurate record of autopsies ; as it seems probable that many errors in the past have been due to the imperfect investigation of symptoms and of lesions. The experiments of Munk first announced in 18781 awakened so much criticism that he deemed it necessary to repeat them especially as they differed in their results from those of Ferrier.2 In 1881 a second series of researches was reported by him confirming his first conclusions3 while in the same year Ferrier was led by further experiments to modify his earlier statements4 and to bring them more nearly into accord with those of the German physiologist. At the recent July meeting of the Physiological Society of Berlin 1883 Munk made a final statement summing up the result of the work of the past seven years5 and demonstrating the accuracy of his conclusions. These may be stated as follows:- 1 Verhandl. d. Physiol.
