The edges of these muscles can be picked up, and, bypalpation, estimated to be less than one centimeter in thickness. The deltoids and biceps can be found only after careful search. The muscles of the back, abdomen and hips are greatly aflfected,and the gluteals and the muscles of the thighs are much face and the flexors and extensors of the forearm are onlyslightly affected. The legs, as usual, have escaped, and show noperceptible change. There is considerable edema of the feet and ankles. The protruding of the head forward and the decided kyphosisgive the characteristic defomied appearance. There is considerable loss of power of the aftected muscles, butno absolute paralysis. Sensation is not impaired. There is nospeech disturbance, nor loss of control of the sphincters. The pa-tellar reflexes are absent; the gait is normal, and free from anyspastic condition. 438 MARYLAND MEDICAL JOURNAL OCT., 1902. PROGRESSIVE MUSCULAR ATROPHY—Garrett. 439
