An American text-book of the diseases of children .. . motor paralysis remainingcomplete only in the parts that are to per-manently suffer, and a gradual improvementmay be reasonably expected to extend overseveral months.

In a well-marked case faradismfails by the tenth day. and the galvanic in-creased response appears, lasting for about six months, when it gradually this point faradic excitability returns, and the muscle regains something ofits size and strength: or. if too seriously impaired, faradic response does notreappear, galvanic response disappears, and the muscle is irretrievably lost. The reflexes are lessened or abolished in proportion as the muscles whichare anatomically associated with them are involved : or perhaps it would bebetter to say that their alteration depends upon the implication of the cornual.

The seriously atrophied muscles become unyielding fibrous bands ; and sincethey offer to the synergic and antergic muscles neither assistance nor opposition, Fig. 3.
