On the Temperature in Cases of Apoplexy, and on the Occurrence (1) of Œdema and (2) of Loss of the Knee-Jerk in the Paralysed Limbs in Hemiplegia

The following cases illustrate some of the more interesting Points with regard to the temperature of the body in vascular lesions of the cerebral hemispheres. Briefly stated, the chief facts known are?that in cases of cerebral hemorrhage there is an initial fall of the body-temperature; that in rapidly fatal oases this subnormal temperature is maintained, but in others which live for some hours it may be succeeded by a rise to a high level; that in cases which prove fatal after a few days the ^itial fall is followed by a stationary period of return to the n?rmal or near it, ending in a rise of the temperature before ^eath; and in cases which recover, the temperature after an initial fall and rise returns to normal, or, rather, remains somewhat subnormal for some time. In softening due to thrombosis,
