    PREFACE. In the preparation of this little essay, I have made liberal use of the elaborate work, Be L'Ataxie Locomotrice, et en particulier de la maladie appellee Ataxie Locomotrice Progressive, by Dr. Paul Topinard. The sections on the history and symptomatology have been condensed from that work chiefly. I have added some historical facts and references) and have contrasted the symptomatology of my patient with that de- scribed by Dr. Topinard. Whatever aid has been derived from other sources is duly acknowledged. This essay was written for the Cincinnati Journal of Medicine, and appeared in the numbers for April, May, and June. I had the convic- tion, in preparing it, that the readers of that periodical would not be unthankful for some recent information on a rare form of nervous dis- ease, which, as it happened to me, might also happen to them. I do not urge the novelty and importance of my labor in justification of its republication in this form. It is reprinted now for distribution among such of my personal friends and of the professional public as may be interested in studies of this character. R. B. 344 Race Street, Cincinnati, O.
