(Nichols and Richardson.) Fig. Proliferative arthritis: extreme type. Vertical section through phalangealjoint. Shows the distal phalanx (1) ; dislocated forward and downward into thepalm of the hand; the joint cavity (2) is practically obliterated and replaced byloose, dense, fibrous adhesions. The joint cartilage has entirely disappeared ; thetrabecule of the phalanges are less numerous and smaller than in normal bone.(Nichols and Richardson.) NON-TUBEECULOUS DISEASES OF THE JOINTS. 295 are certain forms of polyarthritis. Xotably those that followinfectious diseases. A form of subacute arthritis is sometimesobserved as a complication of tuberculous disease, tuberculousrheumatism. There are other forms, for example, arthritisdeformans, gout and the like in which defective assimilationand lessened resistance are the important factors. Haemophilia is apparently a congenital weakness of the blood-vessels which is transmitted through females to males. In onefamily under observation since 1827, through f
