Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Observations on Hip-Joint Disease and Its Rational Treatment The key of the problem having been found, it is not at all difficult to comprehend its nature, as in all diseases of the joints, we have to contend with a train of symptoms entirely depending upon that mysterious function Of the Spinal cord which we comprehend under the head Of reflex action, and which, in spite of numerous experiments, vivisections, and scientific efforts, is still a deus ea: machina. That epilepsy, catalepsy, eclampsy, St. Vitus's dance, tetanus, trismus, spasms, and scores of other pathological phenomena, are the visible effects of reflex action, is no longer doubtful; besides, we know a vast number of circumstances under which reflex action occurs, and stimuli that produce them; but still our knowledge, as to the histology and the function of the spinal cord, and its ganglionic appendices, is far from perfect and infallible. We may, however, try to point out some analo gies in physiology and pathology, the comparison of which may lead to some conclusions important both to science and practice.
