Excerpt from Yale Medical Journal, Vol. 2: November, 1895-June, 1896 This affection was first described by Thomas G. Morton, of Philadelphia, in 1876, and since that time cases of this condition have occasionally been reported, notably by Thomas S. K. Mor ton. Up to the present time, however, this condition does not seem to have received proper attention by neurologists or sur geons, and the text-books pass over it with but brief notice, if it is mentioned at all.
