"This book, dedicated to Charcot, is one of Marie's most important contributions.
It consists of thirty-eight lectures given at the Faculty of Medicine during 1891.
Marie discusses normal anatomy, clinical symptoms and particularly the underlying pathology of many forms of spinal cord disease.
The many illustrations are useful adjuncts to the descriptions of such conditions as insular sclerosis (multiple sclerosis), infantile paralysis (anterior poliomyelitis), tabes, ascending paralysis, and familial degenerative changes." (Heirs).
references: Heirs of Hippocrates [2153 : "one of Marie's most important contributions"].
