To the study of the volume of eye changes in chronic poisoning with ergot and its drugs

Abstract

“Les médecins ne doivent pas ignorer ni mépriser les maux passés” says E. Foderé in his textbook on Epidemiology and Public Hygiene, describing Raphania. This phrase, said in 1823, nevertheless turned out to be premature, giving Raphania the name of "past misfortune", since the subsequent events clearly proved that ergotism is still not past, but present, which can bring a lot of grief, wakefulness. But at the present time Foderé would have every right to call ergotism “maux passés” in relation to almost all of Western Europe. For Germany, France, Switzerland and some other states, epidemics of ergotism in both of its forms, gangrenous and convulsive, there really is only terrible, to happiness has already departed into the realm of devotion, "maux passés".
