| Description Of Item | Collection of notes on the subject of ‘Intra-Spinal Diseases’ from the collection of Thomas Laycock. One page of the notes is dated 1856, the rest are undated.

Inserted between the pages there are also seven heading slips, bound with string. These headings are: Hydatid Paraplegia; Gouty Paraplegia; Paraplegia with Cancer; Spina Bifida; Paraplegia Apoplexy; Paraplegia with Grey Degeneration (Multiple Sclerosis); and Purulent Infiltration (the accumulation of pus within tissue). |
