Excerpt from Injuries of Nerves: And Their Consequences
English medical literature contains no complete trea tise on injuries of nerves and the diseases consequent upon them. In fact, few persons have at any time in medical history been so situated as to command the peculiar opportunity which has fallen to the lot of the writer of these pages, and which alone he feels may justify him in adding another to the numerous monographs which to-day claim the attention of the profession.
In May, 1863, Dr. Wm. A. Hammond, then Surgeon General of the U. S. Army, requested me to share with Dr. George Morehouse the medical charge of an army hospital for nervous diseases, the foundation of which I had suggested to the medical bureau, over which at that time Dr. Hammond presided with such ability as has caused his name to be inseparably associated with the medical and surgical history of the late civil war.
