• 1889 publication of work regarding methods devised to determine the frequency of tremors resulting from Parkinson's disease , alcohol, hysteria, and other diseases. Their values closely concur with the contemporary ranges of 4.0 to 7.0 Hz of Parkinson's and 8.1 to 11.0 Hz of chronic alcoholism.
• Tremor
  • The phantoms in my dreams resemble ...the soul of thee; they tremble as thy soul did tremble from love of me
  • I fain would clasp them in their tremor, as I clasp thee, but frightened fly they from the dreamer, like sounds made free
  • Like those sweet sounds the winds are shaking, from flower to tree, which sigh and murmur waking, melodiously.
  • Ah, thou dear God, if thou hast power, if God thou be, restore, restore one gentle hour, with her to me!'
