At 4.30 P.M., electricity was used for an hour in the manner which I have described.
This heavy diet-list, reached in a few days by a woman who had been unable to digest with comfort the lightest meal, seemed certainly surprising.

I have not given in full the amount of food eaten at meal-time.

Small at first, it was increased rapidly owing to the patient's growing appetite, and became in a few days three large meals.
It is necessary to see the result in one of these successful cases in order to credit it.

Mrs.C.began to show gain in flesh about the face in the second week of treatment, and during her two months in bed rose in weight from ninety-six pounds to one hundred and thirty-six; nor was the gain in color less marked.
At the sixth week of treatment the soup was dropped, wine abandoned, the iron lessened one-half, the massage and electricity used on alternate days, and the limbs exercised as I have described.

The usual precautions as to rising and exercise were carefully attended to, and at the ninth week of treatment my patient took a drive.
