Under the head of sensory neuritis he places the so-called neuro-tabes peripherica, or that form of neu- ritis which occurs in ataxia; Weir Mitchell's neu- rosis (erythromelalgia) is classed as a vaso-motor neuritis; and, finally, Raynaud's disease is the rep- resentative of the trophic form of neuritis. The latter part of this classification of Ross—more espe- cially that which relates to tetany—has not yet met with general acceptance, largely on account of the meagre support which it has thus far received from pathology. With this exception, the classification leaves nothing to be desired. It would be a simple waste of time to enter into a separate description of all these different forms of neuritis; for, however they may difier in causation, they all display a remarkable family likeness. For this reason I shall endeavor to give a general ac- count of the disease, embracing all its more charac- teristic features, by the aid of which I trust the reader will be able to arrive at a diagnosis, even
