mise à jour du 24 janvier 2011 Anomalies & Curiosities of Medicine George M. Gould et Walter L. Pyle    1897   Being an Encyclopedic Collection of Rare and Extraordinary Cases, and of the Most Striking Instances of Abnormality in All Branches of Medicine and Surgery, Derived from an Exhaustive Research of Medical Literature from its Origin to the Present Day, Abstracted, Classified, Annotated, and Indexed. Georges M. Gould November 8,1848 - August 8, 1922   Lee (Memphis Jour Med Sc 1888;536,i,28) reports a remarkable case of yawning followed by sneezing in a girl of fifteen who, just before, hade a tooth removed without difficulty. Half an hour afterward yawning began and continued for five weeks continously. There was no pain, no illness, and she seemed amused at her condition. There was no derangement of the sexual or others organs and no account of an hysteric spasm. Potassium bromide and belladona were administered for few days with negative results, when two attacks of yawning suddendly turned to sneezing. On paroxysm followed another scarcely an interval for speech. She was chloroformed once and the sneezing ceased, but was more violent on recorvery therefrom. ammonium bromide in half-drachm doses, with rest in bed for psychologic reasons, checkd the sneezing.   Woakes presented a paper on what he designated "ear-sneezing" due to the caking of cerumen in one ear. Irritation of the auricular branch of the vagus was produced, whence an impressio was propagated to the lungs through implication of the third division of the 5th nerve, sneezing following from reflex implication of the spinal nerves of respiration, the lungs being full of air at the time of yawning; Woakes also speeks of "ear-giddiness" and offerts a new associate symptom superfical congestion of the hands and forarm.           Georges M. Gould entered Jefferson Medical College in 1885 and graduated in 1888. He then opened an Ophthalmology office in Philadelphia. During that time he invented the cemented bifocal lens.   He was the first president of the Association of Medical Librarians (now the Medical Library Association). He served from 1898 to 1901.   After twenty years of practice, he moved to Ithaca, New York and three years later to Atlantic City.
