These are not to be confounded with the “granule” or “exudation” cells of authors. The filling of the nerve-cells with pigment-granules, as an early stage of degeneration, I formerly pointed out in diseases of the spinal cord and of other parts. (Beule's ‘Archives of Medicine,’ No. xiii.) Dr. Hughes Bennett had also described fatty degeneration and consequent disintegration of nerve-cells of the nervous centres. This distinguished pathologist has repsesented the change in Fig. 405 of his great work on ‘The Principles ane Practice of Medicine,‘ fourth edition.Google Scholar
