Nervous and mental diseases . perplasia of connective tissue andan increase in fat that may reach the highest degree of early changes consist of increase of connective tissue, possiblysome muscular hypertrophy, then muscle atrophy and fatty appears clinically as a large muscular mass, in some instances isfound to be a markedly lipomatous structure almost devoid of muscularfibers. Von Babes ^ has found the muscle nerve-plates undeveloped anddegenerated. Heubner, Striimpell, and Marinesco have described theperipheral nerves as degenerated in the peroneal or leg type of thedisease; the muscles and the anterior pyramidal cells of the cord werealso involved. Hoppe has found similar changes in the facioscapulohu-meral variety. Sachs and Brooks ^ have observed universal slirinkageof the posterior root ganglion cells in one case. To ordinary reagentsthe nerves and pyramidal cells usually react in a normal manner, butthe finer technic of recent years is likely to determine changes in
