Remarks upon our usual Methods of investigating the Pathology of Mental Disease, with some Suggestions for Original Research

Extract

In directing your attention to the usual histological methods employed in the investigation of cerebral disease, I have the hope that those who are not already active workers in the field of pathological neurology may be stimulated to become skilled observers, and to encourage others who, like myself, have long been deterred from undertaking work of this character under the misapprehension that such investigations were profitless or impossible to any but the favoured workers in large and costly laboratories.
