[Fat and Blood by S. Weir Mitchell]@TWC D-Link bookFat and Blood CHAPTER IX 26/27
No flow for two months.
Menstruated at nineteenth day of treatment, and regular during thirteen months ever since. I had at one time intended to give, in the first edition of this work, a summary of all my cases, with the results; but what is easy to do in definite maladies like typhoid fever becomes hard in cases such as I here relate.
In fevers the statistics are simple,--patients die or get well; but in cases of nervous exhaustion, so called, it is impossible to state accurately the number of partial recoveries, or, at least, to define usefully the degrees of gain.
For these reasons I have not attempted to furnish full statistics of the large number of cases I have treated. In the debate before the British Medical Association the question of the permanence of cures by this method was the subject of discussion.
I have lately been at some pains to learn the fate of many of my earlier cases, and can say with certainty that every case then treated was selected because all else had failed, and that I find relapses into the state they were in when brought to me to have been very uncommon.
