Excerpt from Collected Papers by the Medical Staff of the New Jersey, State Hospital at Trenton, Vol. 1: 1907-1911 The primary object of the investigation was to compare the ¿uid of various psychoses, especially those psychoses that would be confused with general paralysis clinically, and we believe that by this method facts have been obtained that warrant the statement that changes occur in the cells of the cerebro-spinal ¿uid that are pathognomonic of general paralysis, so that from the ¿uid alone a positive diagnosis should usually be possible. (of course this refers only to patients suffering from mental diseases.) In order to substantiate our claims, we have utilised the anatomical material at our disposal, both to confirm the clinical diagnosis and establish the origin of the various cells. We have not taken up other conditions outside of the realm of psychiatry from lack of time and material, so that our conclusions refer entirely to this field. In such conditions as organic dementia, dementia praecox, alcoholic insanity (acute and chronic), senile dementia and epilepsy, we have compared the findings with those of general paralysis and have come to definite conclusions. Many interesting points re lating to the changes in post-mortem ¿uids have arisen, but we will only be able to mention them and their relation to acute toxic conditions, and we hope that, aside from obtaining facts for diag nostic purposes, this work will stimulate investigation in other fields of medicine, especially the post-mortem ¿uids in general diseases.
