4393. Lambton. Henry Allen, 59, Filler.

1. "The said Henry Allen is dangerously ill. He complains of general weakness, loss of weight and loss of power in the arms and legs. He cannot sleep, has a slight cough, is emaciated and looks ill. He is unable to walk steadily. His knee jerks are greatly exaggerated and he has very marked ankle clonus. The grasp of both hands is impaired and there is loss of movement in arms. He is beginning to have difficulty with his bladder. There is the soundly healed scar of an incision for abscess on left forearm, and his condition is such that he is totally unfit for work of any kind. He is suffering from a progressive disease of the spinal cord and I am unable to trace any connection between his accident and his present disease.

2. The incapacity of the said Henry Allen is not now either totally or partially the result of his accident on 14th September, 1921.

Dated this 19th day of February, 1922.
