ABSTRACT
William Rutherford Sanders (1828-1881) was an Edinburgh physician who occupied the Chair of Pathology at the University of Edinburgh from 1869 to 1881. All of his published output between 1865 and 1868 was concerned with neurology. In arguing that a patient did not have paralysis agitans, Sanders (1865) employed the term "Parkinson's disease" for the first time in the English-language literature to distinguish between the disorder that Parkinson (1817) termed "paralysis agitans" and other types of shaking palsies. He contributed a major chapter on the same topic to Russell Reynolds's A System of Medicine (1868). Sanders also investigated the innervation of the palate and facial muscles (1865), and in 1866 recorded the autopsy findings in two cases of aphasia. Here, for the first time in the English-language literature, he described findings that supported Broca's location of the representation of speech to a particular area of the left cerebral hemisphere.
