These bonyneoplasia, as well as the so-called exercise^bones, must doubtless be regarded as theproduct of chronic inflammation, just likethe true bony formations that are abnor-mally developed in the membranes of thebrain and spinal medulla. By exercise-bones we mean the development of bonein the deltoid muscle, particularly at thosepoints where the musket strikes when drill-ing. But these bones form in few sol-diers, and their development presupposesa tendency to the formation of bone. Os-sification of the tendons, especially of theirpoints of attach
