title: JMM, past and present. Cysticerci cellulosae of the brain. 1864.
abstract: While striving to serve the needs of the international biomedical community of today, we would also like to remember JMM's long past as a venue for medical research. JMM is the successor to the Berlin Clinical Weekly (Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift), established in 1864. Below are excerpts from the Berlin Clinical Weekly's May issue from a hundred and thirty-five years ago, giving hints about the challenges and solutions being addressed by medical research of the time. Following the excerpt is a commentary by Martin Zeitz and Thomas Schneider, experts in gastroenterology at the University Clinic Benjamin Franklin in Berlin, Germany.
