While searching via Google Scholar I stumbled across an article from 1956, "Cerebral Manifestations of Vitamin-B12 Deficiency*", from the British Medical Journal. It was scanned as an image, and thus available online. Especially given the date of publication (1956), I thought the opening was noteworthy
