    \_Reprinted from the ‘ Transactions of the Medical Society of London,' vol. xxxiiJ] SOME CLINICAL ASPECTS OF PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA. By Herbert French, M.D. (Oxon), F.E.C.P. (Loud.)., Assistant Physician and Pathologist to Guy’s Plospital, etc. Introduction. Gentleaien,—I have recently had occasion to read through the records of the cases of pernicious anaemia that have been in Giiy’s Hospital since 1890, and your Secretary has asked me to say a few words about them from the purely clinical point of view. Dr. Dudgeon has just spoken upon the pathology of the complaint. The main features of the disease .are so well known that I need not refer to some of them at all; indeed, I propose to restrict my remarks to seven particular points, viz., the following :— I. The temperature charts of pernicious .anaemia cases. II. Pigmentation of the buccal mucosa in pernicious anaemia. III. The size of the spleen in pernicious anaemia. IV. The nerve symptoms in pernicious anaemia. V. The variability in the colour index in pernicious anaemia. VI. The injustice of the epithet “ pernicious ” in some of the cases. VII. The difficulty frequently met with in accurately dating the beginning of the illness, with some thoughts that this difficulty suggests. (13209) h
