Matheson spent nearly a decade trying several different courses of treatment, including some very experimental ones, and he began consulting Tilney at the Neurological Institute. He had essentially offered himself up as a guinea pig for several new theories. Given Matheson’s dogged determinism, his own personal interest in the mysterious disease, and his wealth, it is not surprising that epidemic encephalitis became Matheson’s own biomedical research project. Matheson’s case of epidemic encephalitis would be a turning point in the history of this disease and breathe new life into medicine’s struggle to control it. He created the Matheson Commission, a personally funded team of physicians to work out of the Neurological Institute, researching encephalitis lethargica and developing a vaccine. Then Matheson began the search for a qualified staff and talented leader.
