t any degree ofsoftening about the corpus striatum, as was found in Lan-douzys and Sturges cases, exists. None of the othersymptoms justify it, unless we assume the establishment ofseparation of cerebral tissue or vicarious neural function,neither of which however are organic impossibilities. My own opinion, for what little it may be worth, is thatdegenerative tissue changes in the motor area of the cortex:and subjacent striate bodies have set in, as the chronicsequence of the railway concussion. This patient is and has been from the beginning oftreatment on iodide and bromide of potassium, hypophos-phites compound, arsenic, strychnia, and when malarialsymptoms have intervened, courses of quinine. The bowelshave been kept open regularly with rhubarb. The accompanying cuts are illustrations of two atti-tudes taken at different times in the progress of the case,,by the artist. They make the boy appear rather morefleshy in the chest and stouter in the legs and thighs-than he actually is.
