Excerpt from The Relations of Pain to Weather: Studied During Eleven Years of a Case of Traumatic Neuralgia<br><br>I should perhaps state that except as concerns pail the observer is in admirable health, that his attack: are so definite as to coming and going, as to creatc little difficulty in this direction, and that from hi: former position as instructor in certain scientifit branches at West Point, he is well qualified by train ing to pursue this difficult study. The weather re ports of the signal office and his own, or the daily observations of others, have enabled him, from time to time, to relate these to his record of neuralgia, and by this method he has avoided the constant presence of daily thought as to what was about to happen in consequence of atmospheric changes. I may add that I never knew any man more free from unwhole some attention to his own ailments. Most of what I learned from our former study, still stands unaltered by this much longer record; but there have been some fresh and suggestive gains in the relation of pain to meals, to daily barometric changes, and to magnetic conditions.
