Joseph Collins (neurologist)

Joseph Collins (1866-1950) was an American neurologist, born in Brookfield, Conn. He received the degree of M.D. from New York University in 1888, and after some years of private practice took up the specialty of neurology; in 1907, he was made a professor of that subject in the New York Post-Graduate Medical School. He was later a co-founder and visiting physician to the New York Neurological Institute. In addition to his attainment as a practitioner of medicine, Dr. Collins wrote books and other literature. His major writings, medical and secular, are:
