Wertheim Salomonson was the first specialist for nervous diseases at the University of Amsterdam. He was based in the department of internal medicine of the ‘Binnengasthuis’. Through his keen interest in physics he introduced the medical community in The Netherlands firstly to the use of electricity in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disease and subsequently to the application of X-rays. His clinical expertise was greatest in disorders of muscle and the peripheral nervous
system.
