without any warning. There is no his
tory Of eSertion as an explanation. They
come in either the night or day. They
may strike any part of the body. In
the early stages they last only a few
seconds. Later on they last q few min
utes. And later still. in the disease,
they persist for hours. They usually
let up as suddenly as they come.
The most frequent location of the
darting pains is in the legs. Not in
frequently the pains take the form Of
stomach attacks with vomiting and v:o~
lent distress In the pit OF the stomach.
Sometimes the pains girdle the chest
Or the abdomen. The periodic attacks
may stimulate attacks of collie with
pain in the intestines. Rarely the pains
shoot into the arms rather thar into
the legs. The pains ma come at in
tervals of months or only of a few
days.
