DR. SILAS WEIR MITCHELL Mitchell was of Scottish origin but he was born in Philadelphia. His studies included a period with Claude Bernard in Paris. His experiences in the Civil War brought him to fame because his writings on nerve and related injuries became classics as did his description of causalgia with William Keen and G.R. Morehouse they created another great work on "Reflex Paralysis". Research and reporting on post paralytic chorea, erythromelalgia (Weir Mitchell’s disease) and cerebellar function followed. In the early 80’s he turned all major activity into literature and wrote good short stories, essays, drama and verse. He is considered the most eminent American neurologist of his time.

Biographical Project, 1914-1931 Biographical S. Weir Mitchell, physician, novelist, and poet, was born in Philadelphia on 15 February 1829. Mitchell was the son of John Kearsley Mitchell (1798-1858), a physician and lecturer at Jefferson Medical College, and Matilda Henry Mitchell (1800-1872). S. Weir Mitchell entered the University of Pennsylvania at the age of fifteen but withdrew during his senior year when he became ill. In 1848, he enrolled in Jefferson Medical College, and by March 1850, at the age of twenty- one, Mitchell had completed his medical degree. In the fall of 1850, S. Weir Mitchell departed for Europe with his sister, Elizabeth. Elizabeth stayed with her younger sister in England, and Mitchell settled in Paris to study medicine. During this influential year, Mitchell dined with Sir James Paget and Edward Jenner, studied with Claude Bernard, and purchased his own microscope. After a year in Paris, he travelled with his sister in Italy and Switzerland. At the request of their ailing father, Mitchell and Elizabeth returned home in the fall of 1851. Upon returning to Philadelphia, Mitchell set up a demanding schedule for himself; he assisted his father during the day and worked in the laboratory in the evenings. It was during this time that Mitchell conducted experiments with snake venom and first became interested in neurology. By 1855, John Kearsley Mitchell had retired, and Mitchell became responsible for the support of his parents and siblings. A few years later, Mitchell started a family of his own. He married Mary Middleton Elwyn in 1858, and the couple had two children, John K. Mitchell (1859-1917) and Langdon Elwyn Mitchell (1862-1935). In 1862, Mitchell's wife died of diphtheria.

S. Weir Mitchell JMC Class of 1850 A noted experimental physiologist sometimes called the "Father of Neurology," Silas Weir Mitchell was the son of John Kearsley Mitchell, professor of medicine at Jefferson Medical College from 1841-1858. While renowned as a clinician and neurologist, S. Weir Mitchell was also celebrated as an author as famous for his novels and poetry as for his contributions to medical literature. S. Weir Mitchell. Mr. Kris Kringle; a Christmas tale . Philadelphia: Jacobs. Educated at the University of Pennsylvania, Mitchell received his MD from Jefferson Medical College in 1850 and followed that with study in Europe until 1851. Upon his return to the United States, Mitchell began his private practice and research in Philadelphia, interrupted by his service as an Army Surgeon in various Philadelphia hospitals during the Civil War. Mitchell's medical studies during his lifetime ranged from nerve injuries to sleeping disorders, from ailuophobia (morbid fear of cats) to snake venom, and from the physchological effects of amputations to reflex paralysis. In addition, Mitchell introduced the use of inhalations of nitrite of amyl to check epileptic seizures. But he gained world-wide recognition for his "rest cure" for women, outlined in his book

Home Doctors Corner Information for Patients Introduction ... Email Search PainOnline Get a free search engine for your site Silas Weir Mitchell: Nerve Pain Pioneer S. Weir Mitchell (1829-1914) earned a reputation as an eminent neurosurgeon during the era of the American Civil War. His 1872 book, Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences (J.P. Lippencott, Philadelphia), still contains many valid and informative points, including comments on the ability of severe nerve pain to turn the bravest soldier into a trembling coward. In 1872, 34 years before Dejerine and Roussy published their landmark study on central pain, Mitchell made the following observations on nerve injury pain. In contrast to ordinary pain, which tends to be worse in the evening, the person with nerve injury pain awakes with it and it "pursues him with increasing torture throughout the day" Weir was contrasting it with toothache pain, which doesn't get going until there has been time for circulation to occur during the day. The "remote" cause of nerve injury pain is in the wound, while the "immediate" cause is in the site of origin of the nerve; a very astute observation and ahead of Dr. Mitchell's time. Spontaneous and evoked pain would be consistent with this theoretical arrangement wherein immediate causation results in spontaneous continuous pain while stimulation of an area of the body elicits greater pain as the "remote" augmenting location.

MSS 2/0146-02 Acc. 1992-027 ABBE, ROBERT, (1851-1928) Collector Memoranda of Dr. Benjamin Rush, 1781-1927 Biographical Robert Waldo Abbe, New York surgeon, was born on 13 April 1851. He married Catherine Amory Palmer in 1891. Abbe died of anemia, probably related to his work with radium, on 7 March 1928. Abbe received an A.B. from the College of the City of New York in 1870 and an M.D. from the College of Physicians and surgeons in New York in 1874. He then served an internship at St. Luke's Hospital, New York. From 1877 to 1884, Abbe was Attending Surgeon in the outpatient Department of New York Hospital. He was also surgeon at St. Luke's Hospital and the Cancer Hospital and attending Surgeon at New York Babies' Hospital. Abbe held positions as Professor of Didactic Surgery at the woman's medical College of New York, 1878-1880, and Professor of surgery at the New York Post Graduate Medical School, 18881897. In 1898, he became Lecturer in Surgery at the College of Physicians and Surgeons. Robert Abbe was known for his pioneering work in intestinal anastomosis, spinal surgery, and the use of radium to treat cancer. He was a member of the American surgical association, the International Surgical Society, and the New York Surgical Society. In 1911, he became an associate fellow of the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. Scope and contents This scrapbook contains Benjamin Rush memorabilia collected by Robert Abbe. It includes biographical information, copies of portraits, engravings, photo prints, and correspondence. Also included are photo prints and correspondence documenting the establishment and the evolution of the Abbe Custodianship at the College of physicians of Philadelphia. The scrapbook contains numerous pictures of Rush, including reproductions of portraits painted by Thomas Sully and Charles Wilson Pealed, as well as original engravings by St. Memin, R. W. Dodson, W. R. Jones, and David Edwin. Also present are pictures of Rush's residences in Philadelphia, "Shippen Mansion" and "Sydenham". In addition, the scrapbook contains several items signed by Rush, including an 1781 autograph letter excusing an ill soldier from militia duty. Perhaps the most important item in the collection is a letter written by Rush in 1793 to Nicholas Belleville (1753-1831). In the letter, Rush describes a new treatment he has been using to combat Yellow fever. According to Rush, the ingredient calomel (mercurous chloride), "saved 9 out of 10 when applied in [the] early stage [of the illness]". Rush also explains that many Philadelphia physicians did not approve of this treatment. In addition to Rush memorabilia, the collection includes photographs and correspondence documenting the establishment of the "Custodianship of the Watch of Dr. Rush", later referred to as the Abbe Custodianship. Included are photographs of Rush's great granddaughter, Mary Theresa deBeelen Rush and her husband, the Rev. Richard L. Howell. Also present is a photograph and a letter from Gwendolen Whistler Howell, Rev. Howell's second wife, who presented Rush's watch to Abbe in return for his services in attending to her ailing husband. Abbe then donated the watch to the college of Physicians and set up a custodianship for it. The collection includes photo prints and correspondence from. Weir Mitchell, Simon Flexner, William H. Welch, and William W. Keen, all of whom served as Abbe Custodians between 1910 and 1927. Provenance This scrapbook of Benjamin Rush memorabilia and records of the Abbe Custodianship was donated to the College of physicians of Philadelphia by Robert Abbe on 1 February 1911. It is possible to trace the provenance of the some of the items in the collection; for example, the photo print of the Benjamin Rush portrait medal (item 13) was presented to Abbe for inclusion in the scrapbook by George M. Torney, Surgeon General of the United States, in 1910. Rush's 1793 letter on Yellow fever (item 24) was presented to John K.Mitchell by John William Wallace in a letter dated 13 November 1855 (item 25). John K. Mitchell's son, S. Weir Mitchell, presented both of these letters to Abbe in a letter dated 16 December 1910 (item 26). After Abbe donated the scrapbook to the College, additional letters and photo prints were added as new Abbe Custodians were selected. The scrapbook was transferred from the care of the Mutter Museum to the Historical Collections of the library on 4 January 1983. It was processed and catalogued in 1992. 1781-1927 1 volume 3/13/92 wvg MSS 2/0146-02 Acc. 1992-027 ABBE, ROBERT, (1851-1928) Collector Memoranda of Dr. Benjamin Rush, 1781-1927 Page 1 1.

Mitchell, S. Fat and Blood: And How to Make Them (1877). S. Weir Mitchell (1829-1914), neurologist and writer, first systematically presented his rest cure in Fat and Blood. The rest cure was used to treat people, almost all women, suffering from "nervous exhaustion," called neurasthenia (nerve-weakness). Treatment involved rest, massage, diet, and electrical stimulation. Patients were isolated from their normal activities, put in bed, and put on a strict diet designed to build them up physically and emotionally. Fat and Blood , a clear, non- technical explanation of the rest cure, was written for a lay audience and proved a popular success, going through many editions and translations. The rest cure attracted controversy about its effectiveness and appropriateness from its inception. While the rest cure is not used today, Mitchell and the rest cure are of concern to cultural scholars who examine Mitchell's work as it sheds light on society and the role of women during Mitchell's time.

JOHN MCCRAE McCrae earned an M.B. degree at the University of Toronto in 1898, and did further training there and at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore (as one of William Osler 's housestaff). After service in the South African War, he began medical practice in Montreal along with lecturing at McGill University, and medical writing, including A Textbook of Pathology for Students of Medicine (1912). During the first world war he served in Flanders as brigade surgeon of the 1st Brigade, Canadian Field Artillery. On May 3, 1915, during a lull in the fighting, and shortly after one of his comrades was mortally wounded, McCrae wrote out the rondeau, "In Flanders Fields." It was published, anonymously, in the December 8 issue of Punch , and has of course been reprinted and recited countless times since. He was subsequently stationed with the McGill unit at No.3 Canadian General Hospital at Boulogne. On January 23, 1918, he fell ill, and on the 28th died of lobar pneumonia complicated by suppurative meningitis. BACKGROUND - Prescott JF. In Flanders Fields - The Story of John McCrae.
