I found the article to be lacking in detail, so I added several paragraphs to summarize the information in Brown's autobiography of his childhood and youth. Therefore, the article is no longer verbatim from elsewhere. In the new section, from "was incapable..." to "...modern authors" the words are mine. I read the book last week but I've already passed it along so I can't verify all details (e.g. cart vs. wagon) nor give more names of doctors, dates that treatment started, etc. I simplified the sentence structure and added detail in the brief summary before my new material. I haven't done anything to the part after. --Monado
