Epilepsy Germ Found by Cincinnati Scientist

Dr. Charles A. L. Reed reports isolating a bacillus epilepticus in epileptics, found in blood and cecum, with the appendix and glands, proposing intestinal origin and contagion through the alimentary canal. Experiments on rabbits show convulsions after infection, suggesting nonhereditary infection as a cause of epilepsy.

The Falling Sickness and Its Shifting Explanations

A historical analysis traces epilepsy from ancient beliefs as sacred disease to modern understanding as an infectious malady linked to a bacillus from the intestines. It notes names like morbus sacer and morbus demoniacus, cites Hippocrates, and mentions figures such as Caesar, Alexander, Mahomet, Napoleon, and Byron in context of epileptic acts and legendary revelations.
