Dividing the motor path into an upper cortico-spinal segment, extending from the cells of the cortex to the gray matter of the cord, and a lower spino-muscular, extending from the ganglia of the anterior horns to the motorial endplates, the palsies which I propose to consider have their anatomical seat in the former, and may result from a destructive lesion of the motor centres, or of the pyramidal tract, in hemisphere, internal capsule, crus or pons. Certain general features define sharply from each other palsies of the upper and lower portion of the motor path. When the latter is affected, as in the common infantile spinal palsy, poliomyelitis anterior, we have the combination of paralysis with rapid wasting, early loss of reflexes, absence of rigidity and marked changes in the electrical reactions. On the other hand, in involvement of the upper segment, when the lesion is cortico-spinal, anywhere from the motor cells of the cerebrum to the gray matter of the cord, there is paralysis with spasm or disordered movements, exaggerated reflexes neither rapid nor extreme wasting and normal electrical reactions.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

Excerpt from Alexis, the Tyrant of the East: A Persian TaleThe following truly interesting History was selected from a number of very valuable Manuscripts in the Persian language, found in the Alexandrian Library at the time of the Invasion of Egypt by the French: It has been considered as a true and lively picture of the barbarous manners and licentious ha bits of those early ages. - It contains d succinct Account of the extraordinary Adventures of that blood-stained Tyrant of the East, whose valor Ous exploits and daring crimes were long the con slant Theme of the Persian Bards; and whose fame is still proverbial in all Quarters of the Eastern World - The melancholy fate which at last awaited him, and closed a life fraught with the most atrocious acts of villany, resulting from the unrestrained indulgence of criminal Desires and a boundless Ambition, conveys a most salu tary lesson and a sure conviction to the reflecting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
