The pain in the arm is attended with the same rigid
contraction
as in the knee when she does any little
thing in the way of exercise the trimbling
is prity steady
and the pain Ceases only weak
and powerless
She is most at a loss when she
atemps to nitt sue or write or do any thing
that requairs agilaty more than strength
Her head and left side is beginning to be affect↑-ed↑
but has not yet that contracted feeling


Dr Halyday whose receipes are inclosed with
whom she conversed said it was a palsy on the
nerves
