See a letter from Dr. Althaus in the ‘Lancet’ of June 17th, 1865.Google Scholar

Charcot, besides those cases in which the disease has spread from the posterior columns of the cord, has found it in the lateral columns only (in two cases of permanent muscular contractions in hysterical patients), and in circumscribed patches, distributed through the cord irregularly.—(‘Union Médicale,’ 9 Mars, 1865.)Google Scholar
