Too long was the teaching of Lockhart Clarke,1 Tigges,2 Westphal,3 Magnan,4 Voisin,5 Mendel,6 etc., that the cerebrospinal changes represented the sole anatomical substratum of the clinical features in this disease, regarded as infallible, and it is pleasing to think that our erroneous conceptions have been removed by the energetic researches and discoveries of another generation, including among their number Déjerine,7 Lubimoff,8 Mierzejewski,9 Bianchi,10 Fürst-
