The extraordinary results of the blood examination were confirmed by observations made by Professor Frederick P.Henry, Dr.Judson Daland, and Dr.J.K.Mitchell, who all practically agreed.

Professor Henry made several studies and stained a number of slides, verifying in his report the statements of the presence of megaloblasts and nucleated red cells made above.
Owing to the necessity for an operation on the hemorrhoids, which caused loss of blood, the patient was somewhat retarded in her progress to recovery, but by the tenth week was so far better that the blood showed no microscopic abnormalities, the count was full normal, and the haemoglobin over 70 per cent.

Her color and strength were good, the heart was perfectly strong, the anaemic murmur was gone, and the oesophagus was so much less irritable that it was possible to begin dilatation of the stricture.
I have heard within a year that though occasionally annoyed by this last trouble if she becomes much fatigued, she has remained in other ways well.
Mrs.G., the daughter of nervous parents, was always a nervous, over-sensitive, serious child, worked hard at Vassar, broke down, recovered, returned to college, was attacked with measles, which proved severe, and by the time she graduated had been made by her own tendencies and the anxious attention of her family into a devoted member of the class which I may permit myself to describe as health-maniacs.
Health-foods, health-corsets, health-boots, the deeply serious consideration of how to eat, on which side to sleep, profound examination of whether mutton or lamb were the more digestible flesh,--these were her occupations,--and two or three years before her panic about her health had been made worse by the discovery of an aortic stenosis, of which an over-frank doctor had thought it best to inform her.

When I saw her she had been three years married, was childless, and, between the real cardiac disease and her own anxieties about it, had driven herself into a state of great physical debility and a mental condition approaching delusional insanity.
A too restricted diet, lacking both in variety and appetizingness, had had its usual result of upsetting digestion and destroying desire for food.

Even with the small amounts which she ate she considered it necessary to chew so carefully and to feed herself so slowly that from one hour to an hour and a half was used for each meal.
