More recently the name has been used in remote areas to refer to any form of severe neuropathy.

Read at the meeting of the New York Psychiatric Society, April 3, 1918.
Director from 1907 to 1930 of the New Jersey State Hospital at Trenton (previously the State Lunatic Asylum and now Trenton Psychiatric Hospital) Cotton had studied in Europe with Kraepelin and Alzheimer and in Baltimore with Adolf Meyer. Cotton became the leading proponent of Meyer's idea that infections could cause behavioral abnormalities. Cotton abolished mechanical restraint at the hospital and inaugurated daily staff meetings to discuss patient care. He implemented his and Meyer's idea of focal infection as a cause of psychiatric disease with the zeal of 19th century American heroic medicine: pulling teeth and having tonsil, sinuses, testicles, ovaries, gall bladders, and — especially — colons surgically removed. As with almost every other innovator of new methods in psychiatry, he reported a fabulous cure rate, 85% in his case. Unfortunately, since these operations were performed before antibiotics existed, the death rate, which Cotton did not report, was probably between 30 and 45 percent. See Andrew Scull's Madhouse: A Tragic Tale of Megalomania and Modern Medicine (Yale UP, 2005).

One of the great Austrian syphilologists, Sigmund was "greatly interested in the disease which since the end of the 18th century had increased to a widespread plague in Vienna: syphilis. In the newly founded clinic he wanted to study its 'natural history,' and train physicians who would be in a better position than hitherto to diagnose and cure venereal diseases. But this immediate goal of research and teaching was only to serve a greater and more comprehensive task to which Sigmund had devoted himself throughout his life: the systematic control of venereal diseases through individual as well as popular education, and by mobilizing the means available to the state in legislation and administration. . . . [F]or the first time since Johann Peter Frank the faculty possessed in the person of Sigmund a great social hygienist who at the same time was also a first-class hospital specialist" [Lesky, The Vienna Medical School of the 19th Century, p. 135].
