About this book
Epilepsy, Hysteria, and Neurasthenia, subtitled Their Causes, Symptoms, & Treatment, is a book by Isaac George Briggs. The contents list, among others, chapters titled "MAJOR AND MINOR EPILEPSY", "FIRST-AID TO VICTIMS" and "THE EFFECTS OF IMAGINATION". The book says that petit mal often occurs in people who do not suffer from grand mal, the symptoms consisting of a loss of consciousness for a few seconds.
The book tells the reader to buy Muller's "My System", which gives a course of physical exercises without apparatus, which only take fifteen minutes a day. The chapter headed Sleeplessness says some men need only a few hours' sleep, but no one ever overslept himself in natural slumber. The book describes hysteria as an obstinate, functional, nervous disease in which the patient acts in an abnormal manner, and says the cure for hysteria and neurasthenia is solely hygienic, and depends mainly on the patient.
