A patient under 50 years of age, who was not interested in either sports or physical labor, not long before the illness began to intensively engage in gymnastics and heavy physical labor.

Въ краткой замѣткѣ проф. Щербакъ сообщаетъ случай бокового склероза, окончившагося смертью черезъ полгода отъ начала заболѣванія. Больной до 50 лѣтъ, не итересовав- шійся ни спортомъ, ни физическимъ трудомъ, не задолго до болѣзни началъ усиленно заниматься гимнастикой и тяжелымъ физическимъ трудомъ. Это обстоятельство могло, по мнѣнію автора, вызвать системное заболѣваніе двигательныхъ нервовъ.
