This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1905 edition. Excerpt: ... vomiting. In November, 1904, the patient returned to the hospital, because of recurrence of some of the symptoms. On the following day an incision was made, following the line of the old cicatrix, and an infiltrating tumor of about the size of a walnut was found in the hemisphere, apparently taking its origin from some point near the cere-bellopontile angle.
