THE SYMPATHETIC SYSTEM 155 



To these muscular conditions we can liken some of these 

 pseudo paralyses found in chorea, described by Sergent 

 and Bosset under the name of soft chorea and believed 

 to be due to an adrenal insufficiency resulting from the 

 abundant muscular poisons, formed by the constant 

 movements of choreic patients. 



The knowledge of these cases of adrenal insufficiency 

 has not only a theoretical but a practical application. 

 It explains the pathogenesis of many morbid conditions, 

 which can only be helped by organo therapy.
