Original printed wrappers; cover with stains and edge wear, spine strengthened with kozo repairs. Very good. SECOND EDITION. First edition, Paris, 1902. Dejerine collaborated with Andre-Thomas in writing this treatise on diseases of the spinal cord. It was so well conceived and noteworthy that they received the Montyon prize for their work on this subject in 1910. Joseph Jules Dejerine is best known for his many contributions to organic neurology, but he also was greatly interested in functional nervous disorders and developed several psychotherapeutic ideas that he was able to apply successfully. He stressed the importance of the therapist's personality in psychiatric treatment. Haymaker & Schiller Founders of neurology, 2nd ed., pp. 426-430.

In 1917, at the age of fifty, the direction of Andre-Thomas's research was greatly influenced by the seriously wounded soldiers he saw and cared for. He began to study, in depth, cerebral and spinal injury correlating anatomic verification with functional recuperation. This work traces Andre-Thomas's work on nervous reflexes. Andre-Thomas was a student of Dejerine. His thesis, the first book dedicated to the study of the normal and pathological cerebellum, was published in 1897. Andre-Thomas wrote some 150 articles, chapters, and several books and was "hailed unanimously . . . in the French Neurological Society as the neurological master of his generation." "From 1911 to 1932 Andre-Thomas directed the neurological services of the private Hopital St. Joseph" where many famous neurologists came to study, including George Guillain, T. Alajouanine, and Raymond Garcin. See: Serge Duckett, "Andre-Thomas (1867-1963)," in Journal of Neurology, Vol. 247, pp. 235-236.
