Nervous and mental diseases . rst or most degenerated. Gowers statesthat he has never seen a case in which lesions in both spinal regionscould not be detected, and cases presenting lesions confined absolutely tothe anterior gray no longer appear in current literature.

AVe may, therefore,properly discard many of these conflicting terms and speak of progres-sive muscular atrophy with or without cord-lesions. Attention is now directed to the first sort, which embraces conditionsvariously called spinal progressive muscular atrophy, wasting palsy,chronic poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, atrophia muscular isprogressiva spinalis, Duchennes disease, and Charcots disease.
