LOCOMOTOR ATAXIA
The disease known az Locomotor
Ataxia affects males oftener than
females, and it is not Uncommon be-
tween the ages of thirty and fifty.
The predisposing cause is weak
ened constitution. The exciting
causes are cold, dampness, hardship,
falls, injuries and sometimes acute
diseases. Syphilis is frequent
cause, in fact. 70 per cent of the
cases have a syphiitic history.
Syphilitic poison causes disturbances
of nutrition leading to the degenera-

The general symptoms of this dis
ease are lightning-like pains of bor-

rheumatism, usually first affecting
the lower extremities; nl~rbness of
feet and hands and In portions of

heavy, and the patient is unable to
recognize the quality of the SUBJ
stance he walks on. the reflex act

of the eyes may be contracted or
one larger than the other; double
vision often occurs and urination
