Book Overview
"On Stammering and Squinting" by Edwin Lee offers a detailed examination of these two common afflictions as understood in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the nature, causes, and potential treatments for both stammering (or stuttering) and squinting (or strabismus). Lee's analysis reflects the medical knowledge and practices of his time, providing insights into the historical approaches to addressing these conditions.
The book discusses various methods employed to alleviate stammering, including exercises and mechanical devices, while also exploring the surgical and non-surgical options for correcting squinting. Lee's observations offer a valuable glimpse into the evolution of medical understanding and therapeutic interventions for speech and vision disorders, making it a relevant resource for those interested in the history of medicine and the treatment of these conditions.
