ACUTE MANIFESTATIONS OF YAWS OF BONE AND JOINT

An acute disease of bone is described. It is of interest to students of bone pathology because, in the same disease, periosteal new bone may be laid down in "onion-layers" or in radiating spicules. It appears to "onion-layer" in the most rapidly progressive type. Further study may give us, by analogy, an index of the comparative rate of growth of osteogenic sarcomata.
