Dr. Samuel C. Baldwin, an orthopedist recently deceased at the age of 90, initiated the local interest in this disorder. Dr. Baldwin himself studied a number of patients and with Dr. Fayette E. Stephens made valuable observations concerning the inheritance of this condition. The total incidence of dystrophy and other diseases of muscle in the area is unknown but there are many cases of muscular dystrophy in the local population. No data are...Bibliography1.
