    known, and to the best of my limited knowledge, no one has yet done so. Mine is only a clinical history of ganglionic diseases, carefully studied in their rise, progress, and subsidence, at the successive critical periods of the life of woman. Having established beyond dispute, that the sexual organs, or rather the ovary, produces certain well-defined ganglionic diseases, and that some of these determine cerebro-spinal affections, I have sought to show that in all probability the same affections may be sometimes determined by other viscera. I have also attempted to prove that the central epigastric ganglia, the cerebrum abdominale, of former writers, has definite functions and important diseases. It will be for labourers in the same field to say how far I have succeeded in the attempt. E. J. T. 27, Seymour Street, Portman Square, May 1, 1882.
