∗ In only sixteen cases this asthenia was confined to one side of the body; in eight of these it was direct, and crossed in six. This quasi-hemiplegia has no apparent connection with disease of only one side of the cerebellum; for in twenty-eight of the hundred cases, disease of one side only did not present this symptom during life, and in two cases disease confined to one side exhibited distinctly bilateral asthenia.Google Scholar

∗ Bouisson, M., of Montpellier, has published in the Bull. de l'Acad. de Medicine for Oct. 8, 1860, a most remarkable case of a man who had had double cataract for about three years, and had for some time been in a state of dementia. He was couched, and on the removal of the apparatus, exclaimed, “J'y vois” —the first reasonable sentence he had uttered. His mental state improved so rapidly that in six weeks he was able to return home to gain his livelihood.Google Scholar
