Another Case of Locomotor Ataxia Healed

R. W. K.

In September, 1894, my ailment was pronounced locomotor ataxia (erroneously called creeping paralysis), by my family physician.

He advised me to consult a specialist on nervous diseases, who likewise diagnosed my case as locomotor ataxia, and put me under a thorough course of treatment. I tried static electricity every day; I was hung by the neck for two minutes (to stretch the spinal cord) every day; I took an injection of gold in the back, close to the spine, every day, and syrup of hypophosphate with strychnine internally three times a day. This course of treatment was faithfully followed for six months, and at the end of that time I was hardly able to walk; my speech was gone, and I was unable longer to conduct my business. The pain in my limbs was insufferable; I was helpless, despondent, and willing to die.
