The physicians are: Richard D. Arnold, William B. Cochran, Francis H. Deane, S. C. Gleaves, Virginius W. Harrison, William B. Pleasants, John Thomas Pritner, John Seibert, G. W. Mc Semple, and Edmund P. Taliaferro. There are also letters from patients or their family members, including six letters from epileptic W. C. Haymond, describing experiences with the affliction.
