The muscular tissue has been replacedby oil-globules. This process of muscular disintegration does notappear to alfect whole muscles at once ; it seems to attack only individualbundles, or even librillai. Eventually, an entire muscle may thus Itedestroyed, bundle by bundle, or libre bj filjre. I am personally inclined to believe that this disease is primarilyone of the spinal cord, and that the muscular changes are a result oftrophic disturbances dependent upon the morbid process within tliespinal oray matter.
