There is none of the distress caused by true an�sthesia, as, for instance, by the "tabetic mask," or insensibility of part of the face, which sometimes occurs in tabes dorsalis.

A German professor wished to demonstrate to his class the varying inco-ordination of a series of tabetic patients.

True tabetic crises yield more readily to ordinary anodyne drugs than do these pseudo-crises.

Various types are met with; they are known according to their cause, as static, congenital, traumatic, paralytic, rachitic, rheumatic, arthritic, gonorrhœal, and tabetic.

The freedom with which a tabetic patient will allow his disorganised joint to be handled requires to be seen to be appreciated.
