    Silas Weir Mitchell (February 15, 1829 – January 4, 1914) was an American physician and writer known for his discovery of causalgia (complex regional pain syndrome) and erythromelalgia..Silas Weir Mitchell was born on February 15, 1829 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to John Kearsley Mitchell and Sarah Henry Mitchell. He studied at the University of Pennsylvania in that city, and received the degree of MD at Jefferson Medical College in 1850. During the Civil War he had charge of nervous injuries and maladies at Turners Lane Hospital, Philadelphia, and at the close of the war became a specialist in neurology. In this field Mitchell's name became prominently associated with his introduction of the rest cure, subsequently taken up by the medical world, for nervous diseases, particularly neurasthenia and hysteria.The treatment consisted primarily in isolation, confinement to bed, dieting, electrotherapy and massage; and was popularly known as 'Dr Diet and Dr Quiet'. His medical texts include Injuries of Nerves and Their Consequences (1872) and Fat and Blood (1877). Mitchell's disease (erythromelalgia) is named after him. He also coined the term phantom limb during his study of an amputee

    Excerpt from Prince Little Boy: And Other Tales of Fairy-LandN 1864 I wrote certain stories which made part of a little I book called The Children's Hour, published to aid the Sanitary Commission Fair in Philadelphia. It has been ever since a favorite in many homes, and is out of print. Some what later, to help the Children's Hospital, I wrote the story of fuz-buz, the Fly. These small volumes, which have gone through several editions, I am now glad to claim as my own. I have added certain stories of recent date, and ask for the collection the approval of the nursery critics, whose favor I have long possessed.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Here they made a goodly fortune by running pins into Mustapha that he might cry out for the amusement of the bystanders. "Before long all Bagdad flocked to see and hear this wonderful gourd, and at last an officer of the Caliph's household arrived, paid a great sum for the gourd, and, putting it in a basket, carried it away to the palace. "By and by Mustapha found himself in a superb room of the palace, where, surrounded by her ladies, the Princess lay upon a couch. "Suddenly, Mustapha the gourd, as he lay in his basket, heard the voice of his beloved Lelie, who was fanning the Princess. "This so moved poor Mustapha that he cried aloud,' Allah! I hear my love!' and so saying rolled from the basket and fell at Lelie's feet. "' Mahomet!' cried the Princess. 'The thing is bewitched! Take it away!' "But as for Lelie the words were as sweet music to her, and, seizing the gourd, she placed it tenderly in the basket and carried it to her room. Here she implored it with tears to speak again, but in vain; so that at last she was forced to leave it and return to the Princess.
