From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Neuralgia \Neu*ral"gi*a\, n. [NL., from gr. [?] nerve + [?]
      pain. See {nerve}.] (Med.)
      A disease, the chief symptom of which is a very acute pain,
      exacerbating or intermitting, which follows the course of a
      nervous branch, extends to its ramifications, and seems
      therefore to be seated in the nerve. It seems to be
      independent of any structural lesion. --Dunglison.
