Available from: http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol10no6/03-1117.htm Born of expatriate parents in Bombay, India, in 1865, Rudyard Kipling was the first English author to win the Nobel Prize for literature. He received this honor when he was not yet 42 years old. Indeed, Kipling's career is remarkable for its precocious success. His collection of verse Departmental Ditties was published when he was 20 years old. When he first went to England in 1889, he was already a well-known writer. In his short story Love-o'-Women, published in 1893 in the collection Many Inventions, Kipling gives a clinically accurate description of tabes dorsalis and what is probably the only literary description of Romberg's test. Love-o'-Women was published when Kipling was 27, a year after he had married Caroline Balestier, an American woman, and moved to Dummerston, Vermont. Kipling remained in Vermont for 4 years, during which time he wrote The Jungle Book, The Second Jungle Book, Captains Courageous, and The Seven Seas.

CHAPTER Diseases Of The Nervous System 1Diseases of the Spinal Chord ALocomotor Ataxia BGeneral Paralysis CHerpes Zoster (shingles) ... IRaynaud's Disease INTRODUCTION Where nerve energy is used beyond the recuperative power for a time, we have enervation following. This causes an interruptionretardingof secretions and excretions. Add to this retention of excretions the toxins that evolve when the eating is beyond the digestive power. This toxic state brings about functional derangement of the nervous system, and also functional derangement of various organs of the body. Much more on this subject will be found in [Tilden's book] Toxemia Explained. Influences That Lead to Nervous Diseases It is obvious that manipulations of all kinds will be beneficial. Electricity, vibratory treatment, massage, and certainly osteopathy and chiropractic adjustments, will be followed with positive relief. But such relief will often make the patient and doctor believe that a cure, has followed, when, if what I say is true, it is absurd to believe that a cure can be brought about in this way. In addition to the so-called cure, the righting of the system, by correcting disease-producing habits, will remove the cause; and then a cure may be had that can be depended upon. Manipulation will cause absorption; but if there is a slight irritation at the locality, which will bring a surplus amount of blood, there will be redeposits and a return of the discomfort. In all subjects where there is a scrofulous or gouty diathesis, and where there is a general toxemic state of the blood, the redeposits will continue until the toxemia is overcome and the system is readjusted to the original or normal state. It should be kept in mind, in treating the sick, that whatever is necessary to be done to bring them back to the normal should be done; and it should be obvious to all intelligent people that where there are irregular habits or bad habitswhere the life is not up to the normalin any respect, these perversions must be righted. There can be no hope of a readjustment and a bringing back to a normal state without correcting the errors of life.

Ataxia is a symptom, not a specific disease or diagnosis. Ataxia means clumsiness, or loss of coordination. Ataxia may affect the fingers and hands, the arms or legs, the body, speech or eye movements. This loss of coordination may be caused by a number of different medical or neurologic conditions; for this reason, it is important that a person with ataxia seek medical attention to determine the underlying cause of the symptom and to get the appropriate treatment.

39. Baylor Neurology Case Of The Month In 1892 Erb described it as progressive locomotor ataxia . The disease is sometimes called progressive locomotor ataxia. The varied clinical features http://www.bcm.edu/neurology/challeng/pat1/summary.html

Diagnosis: 1) Tabes Dorsalis 2) Ectatic basilar artery A Review of Tabes Dorsalis Amit Verma, M.B.B.S. Chief Resident, Department of Neurology Tabes Dorsalis is a late meningoradiculitis caused by treponema pallidum Epidemiology Pathogenesis Pathology In the early stages, a lymphocytic and mononuclear infiltrate is seen in the meninges. These inflammatory reactions may involve the cranial nerves and can cause degeneration of the axons. When the inflammation involves small meningeal vessels, proliferation of the endothelial lining occurs, resulting in vascular compromise and infarction of brain and spinal cord tissue. Similar findings are seen in tabes dorsalis where the inflammation of meninges and blood vessels is followed by degeneration of the posterior roots and posterior fiber columns of the spinal cord and, sometimes changes are seen in the cranial nerves. This explains the multiple symptoms seen in this disease. The pathological hallmark of the disease is inflammation of the meninges and the nerve roots. The lower spinal cord roots are most commonly involved. There is atrophy and loss of myelinated fibers in the posterior columns, secondary to root pathology. In late untreated cases the inflammation spreads to the anterior roots and atrophy may then be seen in the distribution of the affected roots. Clinical Features The disease is sometimes called progressive locomotor ataxia. The varied clinical features represent the extent of involvement of the brain, cranial nerves and spinal cord. The initial symptoms consist of diplopia due to paralysis of the 3rd, 4th, or 6th cranial nerves, irregular pupils, paresthesia and hyperesthesia. Pupillary abnormalities are present in 90% of patients. The characteristic pupillary abnormality, which is seen 50 percent of the time, is the

HOME ALTERNATIVE MEDICAL LIBRARY CATALOGUE TABLE OF CONTENTS NEXT CHAPTER THE MYTH BECOMES A NIGHTMARE Chapter IV Parran says to the man who has "syphilis" and is not caring for it, that he should re-read the sections of Shadow on the Land that tells what is likely to happen to him, and adds: "I hope it scares you half to death and into the office of the best doctor in town." Parran defends the creation of syphilophobia with the claim that "syphilophobia never killed anyone; never brought a handicapped child into the world; never infected an innocent person," "there would be those to add that it never made a neurotic of someone not neurotic to start with; and if the unfortunate someone must be afraid of something the fear of syphilis is a fear worth cherishing." He admits, however, that he is not a psychologist and this may account for his ignorance of the effects of worry, fear and apprehension. He says "there is a certain social usefulness in syphilophobia," "and although admittedly it will accentuate the discomfort of neurotics and may aggravate some already strained family relations," he has "been inclined to agree with those who believe that such cases ("syphilitic blindness," "syphilitic homicidal mania," etc.) should be widely publicized to develop mass fear, even panic, about syphilis."
