Diseases of the Nervous System

Recklinghousen in 1891 were not examples of osteitis fibrosa generalisata and hence of hyperaparathyroidism, but were suffering from "polyostotic fibrous dysplasia." The book concludes with an account of Paget's disease, vith an ingenious, if not very satisfactory, attempt to explain its pathological physiology. It, however, has some useful points in treatment, one or two glasses of milk daily and large doses of calciferol, but in cases of Paget's disease who aire immobilized with fractures or confined to bed, should have a low calcium phosphrous and vitamin D intake and a high water intake.
