A treatise on the diseases of the nervous system . The accompanying facsimile of one of his writ-ten communications to me (Fig. 56) will, I doubt not, prove of was made partially in answer to questions, and partially at his ownsuggestion. The date (March, 1847) was given in answer to my ques-tion when the disease appeared, and the year mentioned is a mistakefor 1867. As he states, there was a little trouble with his right was of the nature of paralysis, there being no muscular atrophyanywhere. The patient died about six months after I saw him, thedisease lasting a little over a year. Another case—the eighth—was a patient in the New York StateHospital for Diseases of the Nervous System. In him the affectionbegan in the orbicularis oris, and gradually involved the tongue andmuscles of deglutition. The left side was first affected, and then, afew weeks afterward, the paralysis extended to the right. There wasnystagmus of both eyes. The mind was perfectly clear. He formed 522 DISEASES OF THE SPINAL GLOSSO-LABIO-LARYXGEAL PARALYSIS. 523 the subject of a clinical lecture on glosso-labio-laryngeal paralysis,which I delivered during the session of 1870-?1, at the Bellevue Hos-pital Medical College. The case is further remarkable as occurring inan exceptionally young person, the patient being but thirty-two yearsof age. Duchenne states that he has never observed it in personsunder forty. I subjoin a representation of this patient (Fig. 57), taken Fig. 57.
