In all casesthe paralyzed limbs are found to be affected in their growth and de-velopment, so that they are smaller, colder, stiffer, and weaker thanthe others ; they are often blue and cyanotic. The reflexes are exag-gerated on the paralyzed side. The electrical reactions are not quali-tatively changed. The sensation is normal. This condition remainsthrough life as a permanent defect, and although the division of con-tractured muscles or tendons, and the application of ingenious apparatus,may correct deformities and make the paralyzed parts fairly useful, andalthough the application of electricity to the muscles chiefly affected 624 THM CEHEBMAL ATMOPEIES OF CHILDHOOD. may increase their nutrition, and thus prevent contract
