A very distinct and careful statement of the distinction between pain and hyperæsthesia will be found in a prize essay "On Neuralgia" by M. C. Vanlair, Jour. de Bruxelles, tom. xl., xli., 1865.

[16] Eulenburg, to whose excellent work ("Lehrbuch der functionellen Nervenkrankheiten," Berlin, 1871) I shall have frequent occasion to refer, has partly misunderstood the drift and scope of my argument, a misfortune which I owe to the impossibility of giving, in the "System of Medicine," more than the briefest and most superficial sketch, both of my ideas and of the facts on which they rest.

[18] This opinion is somewhat stronger than that expressed in my article in the "System of Medicine." I can only say it is the result of much increased experience.

His own observation only proved half the case; but he quotes an observation of Buttman's in which the exact converse of his own experience happened, the external fibres being affected without the inner band, and anæsthesia without trophic changes being the result. Moreover, Schiff (Gaz. hebdom., 1867) obtained experimental results (in operating on cats and rabbits) which coincide with Meissner's.

Transcriber's Notes:
Punctuation and spelling errors fixed. Variant spellings and hyphenations changed when there is a clear majority. Other unusual spellings retained.
Hover notes were added in the text to show original versions of changed texts for the following notes:
Discrepancies in headings and outline labels repaired. In some cases, this required adding headings implied but not present in the original, to agree with headings that were present.
Table of Contents, Part 1, Chapter IV: original reads "Diagnosis and Progress of Neuralgia." "Progress" has been corrected to "Prognosis" as shown in the Chapter heading.
P. 51, "but her mensural troubles" changed to "but her menstrual troubles".
P. 67, footnote #14. Original reads "Journ. de Med. et Chim. Prat." "Chim." is typo for "Chir." as in footnote just above.
P. 96, "investigation of neralgi" changed to "investigation of neuralgia".
P. 105, "genealogical connection between migraine and epilepsy": in all reviewed copies of this 1882 edition, original shows "aological" with 4 or 5 spaces in front of it, an apparent printer error. However, in the 1872 edition, the entire sentence reads as presented here.
P. 206, "I have already causually" changed to "I have already causally".
