| Description Of Item | Cutting of a medical journal article on the topic of ‘functional paraplegia’. The article contains a comparative list of the symptoms of ‘organic’ paraplegia and ‘functional’ paraplegia, as well as details of case studies including that of 23-year-old Mary Lewis of Ohio. The cutting is in two parts, which have been pasted together along the top edge. The article appears to be from the London Medical Circular (later known as the Medical Press and Circular), but this has not been confirmed.
