Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New York Medical Journal, Vol. 48: A Weekly Review of Medicine, July to December, 1888, Inclusive The disease is so rare, and so few opportunities have been given to one man for its study, that great diversity of opinion exists on many points in connection with it. This is most strikingly brought out when we come to the question of its cause and of its connection with locomotor ataxia. The proportion of tabetic subjects having this form of joint disease is unknown. Both sides of the body are affected with equal frequency. It often affects many joints. In 109 cases collected by W'eizsacker, 169 joints were diseased. The large joints are chiefly involved. The disease occurs in the joints of the lower extremity much more frequently than in those of the upper, in the proportion of nearly four to one.
