title: Neuropathies and myopathies.
abstract: The manner of dealing with this subject is to be strictly clinical and practical. Classifications will not be all-embracing but will include only those conditions likely to be encountered at some time in the career of the ordinary family practitioner. Only occasionally, in the interests of clarity, will an uncommon disorder receive brief mention. The amphasis will be on bedside diagnosis; electrodiagnostic tests will not be described.
