Abstract
In this introductory survey some of the more uncommon features will be considered which may give, and in fact have given, rise, in the present series, to differential diagnostic considerations such as to the presence at all, and the possible type of a pyogenic intracranial condition.
“Receiving thankfully all help that physiology or chemistry or any other sciences more advanced than our own can give us, and pursuing all our own studies with the precision and circumspection that we may learn from them let us still hold that, within our range of study, that alone is true which is proved clinically, and that which is clinically proved needs no other evidence.”
Sir James Paget in an address to the Clinical Society of London in 1869.
