"Wepfer's treatise was the first to make the connection between apoplexy and cerebral hemorrhage. Wepfer applied Harvey's concept of circular blood flow through the body . . . He realized that anything capable of preventing the influx of blood to the brain from the cerebral arteries and its return through the jugular veins was capable of producing apoplexy"--Norman 2203 (1658 original edition). Garrison-Morton 2703 and 4511.2; Krivatsy 12952 (this edition).
