"In this, perhaps his most important work, he differentiates arthritis from nervous sciatica, gives the first detailed description of cerebrospinal fluid, and shows that the congealed protein in the urine of a nephritic patient is a diagnostic sign"--Heirs of Hippocrates 1026 (1789 edition). Garrison-Morton 1382, 4204.2, 4515, and Norman 522 all cite the 1764 original edition.
