The treatment of pernicious anemia with liver, introduced by Minot and Murphy1 in 1926, after the experimental work of Whipple and his associates, has had a remarkable effect on the clinical course of the disease. The response of the nervous manifestations has been discussed by various authors with considerable difference of opinion. This is due partly to the use of different criteria in evaluating the results of treatment. Some observers have relied on improvement of symptoms not necessarily dependent upon structural restoration, while others have based their conclusions on the rigid interpretation of abnormal neurologic signs. Another cause for confusion
