He analyzes the seriee statistically and describes the important symptoms for diagnosis of such cases. Of these, he discusses fully pain, the color, temperatu-e, sensory changes, paralysis, and pulsations in the affected part. He believes the diagnosis can usually be made without diticulty by careful observation of the clinical signs and symptoms. In early cases embolectomy offers nate with amputation or death.

A case of periarteritis nodosa diagnosed during life and confirmed by biopsy is reported. The striking features were a long period of ill health with persistent fever, peripheral neuritis, muscular atrophy, renal impairment, gastrointestinal symp toms, and marasmus. Arsenic therapy reduced the temperature to normal but did not relieve the symptoms or arrest the progress of the disease. E. A. H.
