Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 February 2018
Extract
Naturally, if a child be dull or stupid, he will be slower to learn the use of the senses or the muscles, and, accordingly, we find that some idiots of the lowest type are not able to learn to walk or grasp. I remember one case distinctly where the only acquired motions were receiving food into the mouth, and following with the eyes the spoon with which he was fed.

Dr. Brächet tells of a man who found that his vision had acquired astonishing capacity since the previous day. He could dis· tinguieh the most minute objects at an enormous distance. Five hours afterwards he felt a slight headache, and in a few hours more was seized with apoplexy, and died the next night. A recent coagulum of blood was found in the right optic thalamus. The inflammation which had preceded this effusion had affeoted a part of the brain immediately concerned in vision. Google Scholar
