Genius and dilettantism often go hand in hand. Nowhere is this truer than in the life of Charles-Edouard Brown-Séquard, the bilingual physician and neurologist who succeeded Claude Bernard as the Chair of Experimental Medicine at the College de France in Paris after having practiced in Paris, London and in the USA, especially in Harvard. For most men, making one discovery of global importance would have sufficed to satisfy their curiosity and self-image. Not so Brown-Séquard. His explanation of the neurological disparity following the hemi-section of the spinal cord was a unique achievement that added his name to the syndrome and made him immortal. Yet, the demons of his mind tormented him in his endless search for medical truths and drove him to explore other phenomena, seeking to explain and remedy them. This unique biography shows for the first time the conflict between his professional and personal life, and should appeal to all students of medical history and psychology.

Brown-Séquard: An Improbable Genius Who Transformed Medicine traces the strange career of an eccentric, restless, widely admired, nineteenth-century physician-scientist who eventually came to be scorned by antivivisectionists for his work on animals, by churchgoers who believed that he encouraged licentious behavior, and by other scientists for his unorthodox views and for claims that, in fact, he never made. An improbable genius whose colorful life was characterized by dramatic reversals of fortune, he was a founder-physician of England's premier neurological hospital and held important professorships in America and France. Brown-Séquard identified the sensory pathways in the spinal cord and emphasized functional processes in the integrative actions of the nervous system, thereby anticipating modern concepts of how the brain operates. He also discovered the function of the nerves that supply the blood vessels and thereby control their caliber, and the associated reflexes that adjust the circulation to bodily needs. He was the first to show that the adrenal glands are essential to life and suggested that other organs have internal secretions. He injected himself with ground-up animal testicles, claiming an invigorating effect, and this approach led to the development of modern hormone replacement therapy. Charles-Édouard Brown-Séquard was reportedly "one of the greatest discover of facts that the world has ever seen". It has also been suggested that "if his reasoning power had equaled his power of observation he might have done for physiology what Newton did for physics." In fact, scientific advances in the years since his death have provided increasing support for many of his once-ridiculed beliefs.

"'Truth at any cost, even my own,' has always been the uncompromising motto of the true philosopher . . . The pains to which Dr. Brown-Séquard has voluntarily subjected himself in pursuing the experiments which form the subject of this book should not be forgotten . . ." (Newell Dunbar, 1896)The eminent physician Dr. Brown-Séquard was not afraid of putting his body on the line for the good of science. His extreme self-experimentation included the swallowing of sponges attached to string, which he would later pull out to inspect what had been soaked up. This book, however, is dedicated to one of his experiments that stands out above all others - Injecting the minced testicles of animals as a means of rejuvenation. In the late 19th Century, Séquard's concoction had become the world famous 'elixir of life' and was being administered by tens of thousands of physicians.Following a short biography of Séquard's life achievements, this book comprises a collection of reports on his experiments with minced testicles. Anyone with an interest in bizarre and historic science will enjoy this unique and surreal journey of discovery into which animal testicles are best injected, how much water should be added to the mixture, filtered vs. unfiltered, and whether or not a drop of cocaine may help to reduce the soreness? This latest addition also includes a chapter on how Séquard's testicle juice led to even more outrageous medical practice 30 years later, with the implantation of entire animal testicles.
