Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Archives of Internal Medicine, Vol. 17: May 15, 1916 On further examination, it was seen that the child grasped objects fairly well with his left hand, but refused to take them' with his right hand. If the left arm was held, the child moved the right arm poorly and was not able to eat with it. He took bread well with his left hand, but there was marked tremor as he moved it to his mouth. The difference in the movements of the two hands was quite marked. When the child desired to be taken up, he stretched out his left hand; the right remained still, or, at least, was moved less freely.
