The disturbance of the locomotory po- 

 wers, contraction of the muscles ol the 

 neck and opisthotonos, are symptoms 

 which reveal the existence of tuberculo- 

 sis of the medula and cerebellum. 



They are accompanied by local para- 

 lisis, the act of swallowing become di- 

 fficult, and there is ptyalism. The tem- 

 perature may be unvaried. T he gait is 

 vacillating, the hind limbs cross, there 

 is paresis and finally paralysis of the 

 hind quarters. 



The manifestations of this class of tu- 

 berculosis are similar to the symptom 

 of acute meningitis turnis cerebral hoe 

 morrhage and to poisonings. 



% The whole scale of symptomatology 

 mentioned in this chapter may be obs- 

 served in general tuberculosis. Articular 

 tumefactions and interarticular adhe- 

 rences moreover make their appearance. 



Wounds in the skin may be found and 

 are often tubercles. The disease may 

 take an acute (miliary tuberculosis) or 

 a hyper acute character.
