General Paralysis of the Insane or Shaking Palsy.Technically known as paralysis agitans, is a name applied to that form of muscular debility which is found especially in the aged. It affects the hands, which cannot be held quiet unless the patient's attention is especially directed to the accomplishment of some object. It often happens that if the patient extends the hand to grasp an object, the tremor ceases. Sometimes the lower limbs, also, are so tremulous that the patient can scarcely walk. While this affection is most common in elderly people, it may occur in the young and middle-aged as the result of excesses in drink or in sexual indulgence ; in fact, any long-continued excessive demand upon the nervous system, of whatever nature - worry, anxiety, excitement, fatigue - may be followed by this form of paralysis.
