ERNST REMAK (1848-1911) Neuritis und Polyneuritis. Alfred Hölder 1900 x, 714 pp., 8 col. plates, illus. 23.6 cm.

Ernst Remak, son of the more famous Robert Remak (see No. 1819), was one of the more prominent German neurologists during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Flatau (see No. 2266 ff.) had made the important discovery in 1894 that the greater the length of the neurofibrils within the spinal cord, the closer they are situated to the periphery. In the present work the authors describe a wide variety of neuritides with regard to their clinical symptoms, microscopic changes within the nerve structure, therapy, and etiology. References are frequently made to previous neuropathological studies, and there is an extensive bibliography. This work was also selected by Nothnagel (see No. 2039) for his Handbuch der speziellen Pathologie und Therapie.
