Her morning temperature was usually 99 deg.

to 99-4/5 deg., and in the evening, 9 to 10 o'clock, it always rose to 100 deg., 101 deg., and at times to 102 deg..
As I have said already, there are persons who, under circumstances seemingly alike, have from massage a large rise of temperature, and others who experience none.

I give a single case of what is rare but not exceptional,--an almost constant fall of temperature.

After Massage.
98 97-3/5 98-1/2 98-1/2 98 98 98-2/5 98 98-4/5 98 These facts are, of course, extremely interesting; but it is well to add that the success of the treatment is not indicated in any constant way by the thermal changes, which are neither so steady nor so remarkable as those caused by electricity.
If now we ask ourselves why massage does good in cases of absolute rest, the answer--at least a partial answer--is not difficult.
