By methods previously employed for detecting lithocholic acid in brains of guinea pigs afflicted with experimental allergic encephalitis, the same acid was detected in a coronal specimen of human brain obtained on autopsy of a multiple sclerosis patient. The specimen contained several well‐defined demyelinated plaque areas. No lithocholic acid was detected in a somewhat larger coronal specimen of normal human brain.
