D., Clinical Pathologist, and Gonzalo R. Lafora, M. D. (Madrid,), Histopathologist, Government Hospital for the Insane, Washington, D. C. (A preliminary report.) From the study of the literature' on poliomyelitis it appears that in the early stages of the disease there is frequently found a moderate degree of hypertension of the fluid and an increase of protein content and cellular elements. At first the percentage of polymorphonuclear leucocytes is high and later in the disease the ' For detailed account on this subject sec our article in Folia Neuro-Biotoeica, Bd. V, No. 3.19U.
