Osler- Confusing Nomenclature
- On Chorea and Choreiform Affectations
- "It was unfortunate to say the least, that Sydenham should have given the name chorea to an affection which had nothing whatever to do with the Chorea Sancti Viti, but custom now sanctioned the use; and this is not the only instance in medicine in which we know a disease by a name the original significance of which has long been lost."
