After most careful examination, I could find no disease of any one organ, and I therefore advised a resort to the treatment by rest, with full confidence in the result.
In this single case I give the schedule of diet in full as a fair example: Mrs.C.remained in bed in entire repose.

She was fed, and rose only for the purpose of relieving the bladder or the rectum.
October 10 .-- Took one quart of milk in divided doses every two hours.
11th .-- A cup of coffee on rising, and two quarts of milk given in divided portions every two hours.

A pill of aloes every night, which answered for a few days.
12th to 15th .-- Same diet.

The dyspepsia by this time was relieved, and she slept without her habitual dose of chloral.

The pint of raw soup was added in three portions on the 16th.
17th and 18th .-- Same diet.
19th .-- She took, on awaking at 7, coffee; at 7.30, a half-pint of milk; and the same at 10 A.M., 12 M., 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 P.M.The soup at 11, 5, and 9.
23d .-- She took for breakfast an egg and bread-and-butter; and two days later (25th) dinner was added, and also iron.
On the 28th this was the schedule: On waking, coffee at 7.
