By the side of the muscular fibre adipose tissue is observed, composed of cells that are either (a) round or longitudinal; there are little drops (b) of fat deposited in the muscular 128.— The muscular fibres have still preserved their contractility, and are 129, 130.— The longitudinal fibres have become less distinct. The molecules of fat are more and more abundant—again cover the figure almost entirely. Fourth Fig. 131. Fig. 132. Fig. 133. Pig. 131,—The longitudinal fibres have disappeared. We see only fatty molecules veryclose together and little distinct, especially toward the axis of the fascia. Fig. 132.— The fat becomes more abundant and difficult; the muscular fascia is more trans-parent. Fig. 133.—Distinct molecules of fat are no longer perceptible ; the fascia is composed of ashapeless mass. Each degree of fatty transformation corresponds to a degree of decoloration of muscularfibre. Electro-Diagnosis.—In infantile paralysis there is diminution or utterloss of electro-muscular contractility. In patients so young the conditionof the electro-muscular sensibility cannot of course be ascertained. Thetactile sensibility is in some cases much diminished; in other cases itdoes not appear to be affected. 4l6 ELECTRO-THERAPEUTICS. A slight degree of ansesthesia cannot be ascertained in very young pa-tients. In this disease especially both currents are necessary in the diag-nosis as w
