Lectures on the Diseases of the Nervous System Delivered at La Salpêtrière

Jean-Martin Charcot

Correlates clinical symptoms observed at the bedside with lesions found at post-mortem to define sclérose en plaques (multiple sclerosis) as a distinct disease with its own triad of signs, founding the method of lesion-localisation that modern clinical neurology still uses. English translation of Charcot's 1872 Salpêtrière lectures.
