In Part 1 of this history of neurology in Toronto, the advent of neurology as a specialty in 1892 and its progress over the next 20 years was described (Can J Neurol Sci 1995; 22: 322–332). Donald Campbell Meyers, the first neurologist received his training from “founders” in Paris, Vienna and London and returned to Toronto to establish his own private neurological hospital and a special unit – “the Nervous Wards” – in the Toronto General, the major teaching hospital. These pioneering initiatives clashed with an alienist establishment, itself internally in conflict, and the “Nervous Wards” were lost in the ensuing competition for medical resources.
