The effects produced on man by subcutaneous injections of a liquid obtained from the testicles of animals
clinical paper · 1889
SUMMARY
The expanded English-language version of Brown-Séquard's June 1889 communication to the Société de Biologie. Published in *The Lancet* in the summer of 1889. The English version is the form most commonly cited in subsequent medical-historical and endocrinological literature because the *Lancet* is more accessible than the *Comptes rendus de la Société de Biologie* in modern medical-library indexing. The content is substantively identical to the French original: report of five self-administered subcutaneous injections over 18 days, subjective improvements observed, no controlled comparison, no measurement of active substance.
NOTES
The Lancet publication is the practical citation of choice for modern medical-historical and endocrinological discussion of Brown-Séquard’s 1889 episode. The full text and discussion of the protocol’s dose and dose-form (Cussons et al, Med J Aust 2002) work from this Lancet version rather than the French Comptes rendus original.
