given III the Lancet. The disease is.
fortunately. uncommon. In one case
the sufferer, an Englishnan, 81 years
Of age who knew Greek. Latin ard
French well. suddenly lost all knowl,
edge OF English, though he could read
and understand Greek perfectly and
Latin and French in a rather smaller
degree. Another and almost more
curious case was that of man who
lost the power OF reading at sight.
This patient was able to write acclr.
a,ely from dictation. bur was COM
e'lete1y unable to read what he had
written. Word blindness is apparently
akin to color blindness. bnt is certain
