PATHOLOGICAL CHANGES IN THE SPINAL CORD 
Slight hypertrophy and pronounced capillary distension were present 
in the dura and pia mater, but no visible alteration in the arachnoid. 
The capillary fullness in the lateral horns of the gray substance suggestive 
of hemorrhage was less pronounced in the white substance. 
Neurogliar changes were present in the gray and white substance, but 
were better seen in the lateral columns when stained by the Golgi method. 
The sensory ganglion cells were somewhat shrunken, while the motor 
cells were practically unaltered in outline. 
Degenerative changes in the myelin were quite visible by the Pal- 
Weigert hematoxylin method, and even more so by Heller’s osmic-acid 
method. It is more readily seen in the fibers of the dorsal than the 
lateral column and is scarcely found in the ventral column.
