1914年，我断言便秘是癫痫的一个因素，而且是一个非常重要的因素。我发现，来找我的病人中经常出现的便秘，是由肠道的机械性紊乱或变形引起的，当这些肠道的状况通过外科手段得到纠正时，在许多情况下，病人不仅治愈了便秘，而且经常治愈了癫痫。我越来越多的经验已经证实了这些观点的正确性，无论是对疾病的病因和治疗。然而，我从一开始就意识到，虽然从病例的历史来看，便秘作为病因和癫痫作为结果之间的联系是显而易见的，但没有充分的解释或实际证明这两种情况之间的联系。
In 1914 I affirmed 1 that constipation was a factor, and a very essential factor, in the causation of epilepsy. I have found that constipation, always present in the patients who came to me, was caused by mechanical disturbance or distortion of the intestines, and that when these conditions of the intestines were corrected by surgical means, the patients in a large number of instances were cured without other treatment, not only of their constipation, but very often of their epilepsy. My increasing experience has confirmed the correctness of these views with respect to both the causation and the treatment of the disease. I was aware from the start, however, that, while the connection between constipation as the cause and epilepsy as the effect was obvious from the history of the cases, there had been given no adequate explanation or actual demonstration of the connecting link between the two conditions.
