But because the reader may be curious to have some idea of the style and manner of expression peculiar to that people, as well as to know the article upon which I recovered my liberty, I have made a translation of the whole instrument, word for word, as near as I was able, which I here offer to the public.
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disorder that progressively destroys nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. The most common form of Tay-Sachs disease becomes apparent in infancy.
Infantile, juvenile and adult are the different forms of Tay-Sachs disease. Doctors classify this condition based on the age that the symptoms begin. A child whose symptoms begin before the age of six months will be formally diagnosed with infantile Tay-Sachs disease. Juvenile Tay-Sachs disease is a more rare form of this condition. The symptoms of juvenile Tay-Sachs disease usually present themselves when the child is between the ages of two and 10. In extremely rare cases, people in their 30s and 40s have developed Tay-Sachs disease.
