In 1866 S. Weir Mitchell, the fore most American neurologist of his time, published his first account of phantom limbs, not in a scientific jour nal but in the Atlantic Monthly, as an anonymously written short story. In his tale," The Case of George Ded low," the protagonist loses an arm to amputation during the Civil War. Later, he awakens in the hospital after, unbe knownst to him, both his legs have also been amputated."[I was 1 suddenly aware of a sharp cramp in my left leg. I tried to get at it... with my single arm, but, finding my self too weak, hailed an attendant.'Just rub my left calf,... if you· please.'"'''Calf?... You ain't got none, pardner. It's took off.'"
