This alarmed a brother, who insisted upon a change of treatment, and after some months she was brought on a couch to this city.
At the time I first saw her, she took thirty grains of chloral every night and three hypodermic injections of one-half grain of morphia daily.

As to food, she took next to none, and I could only guess her weight at about ninety pounds.

She was in height five feet two and a half inches, and very sallow, with pale lips, and the large, indented tongue of anaemia.

I made the most careful search for signs of organic mischief, and, finding none, I began my treatment as usual with milk, and added massage and electricity without waiting.

Her digestion seemed so good that I gave lactate of iron in twenty-grain doses from the third day, and also the aloes pill thrice a day.
