Fat and Blood

CHAPTER IX
25/27

As I have said, these are rare; but it is less uncommon to see great relief without improvement in weight at all, or until the patient is up and afoot for some weeks; and I could also state several cases in which a repetition of the treatment won a final and complete success after the first effort at cure had failed or but partially succeeded; and of this, I believe, Professor Goodell has seen several examples.
I have mentioned more than once the singular return of menstruation under this treatment, and as examples I add a brief list of some notable instances.
Mrs.N., aet.

29, no menstruation for five years; return of menstruation at thirtieth day of treatment; continued regularly ever since during three years.
Mrs.C., aet.

42, eight years without menstruation; return at fourteenth day of treatment; now regular during five months.
Miss C., aet.

22, no menstruation for eight months; return at close of sixtieth day of treatment; regular now for four months.
Miss A., aet.

26, irregular; missing for two or three months, and then menstruating irregularly for two or three months.
