| A Rare Disease.
The condition of the unfortunate
man who is being gradually ossified in
| to state Of absolute helplessness In
this city is one which quite naturally
arouses public interest in the melan-
choly and inevitable outcome. Although
the disease in question, which is scien-
/
tbs, is not very rare, it's extreme mani
festation, as in the present instance, is
somewhat unusual. 1t is characterized
by calcareous deposit at first around
the joints, then afterward into the sur
/ rounding tendons and muscles and
finally throughout the entire f1eshy
portions of the body. -
The apparatus Of locomotion is par
| ticularly involved, and the more vital
| processes OF the body suffer in conse-
/ quence Of the original trouble. Thus
the patient is. unable to feed himself
on account Of the ngidity of his upper
limbs, is confined to his bed by his ina
| bilfty to walk, and not infrequently his
respiration is affected by the gradual
i and progressive selidification Of his
! chest walls. IL Is easy to understand
that the disease Is occasionedi by a pro-
found constitutional error of nutrition
