Excerpt from West London Medical Journal, Vol. 5: Published Quarterly Under the Auspices of the West London Medico-Chirurgical Society; January, April, July, October, 1900 The opportunities for recognising any symptoms which might lead us to suspect the existence of a thoracic aneurysm are so few before the physical signs lead to correlation between the well-known symptoms and those which may have preceded them, unheeded alike by the patient and the practitioner, that it may not be altogether useless to place on record certain phenomena coming under the personal observation of the writer in four cases. Three of the subjects were blood relations, and all were personally well known to one of them, whose intimate friend ship permits the existence of no doubt as to the unlooked-for coincidence of similar subjective symptoms, communicated in every case by the sufferers to me without suggestion, and, in three out of the four, certainly without knowledge that their sensations had been shared by others.
