To examine several early Canadian descriptions of anorexia nervosa (AN) in light of modern understanding of the disorder.
Two clinical reports of AN from the late 19th century and early 20th century in Canada are cited and summarized. These original case descriptions are then compared with late 20th century knowledge of the disorder.
Both of these early descriptions contain many astute and prescient observations on the etiology and sequelae of AN and reveal a compassionate approach to patient care.
Canadian contributions to the medical literature on AN prior to 1970 merit both careful scrutiny and appreciation in the world literature on this disorder.
根据对神经性厌食症（AN）的现代理解，审视加拿大早期对该疾病的几种描述。
引用并总结了19世纪末和20世纪初加拿大关于AN的两份临床报告。然后将这些原始病例描述与20世纪末对该疾病的认识进行比较。
这两份早期描述都包含了对AN病因和后遗症的许多敏锐且有先见之明的观察，并揭示了一种富有同情心的患者护理方法。
1970年之前加拿大对AN医学文献的贡献值得在关于该疾病的世界文献中进行仔细审视和赞赏。
