of Massage" recommends
this order.]

[Footnote 18: Some care is needed not to overwork patients. For details
I must refer to manuals of Swedish Gymnastics.]

[Footnote 19: See also page 91.]

[Footnote 20: A number of observations in late years have been made upon
the effect of massage upon elimination. Among the articles to which the
practitioner desiring further to study this subject may be referred
are,--

_Edin. Clin. and Path. Jour_., Aug., 1884.

_Jour, of Physiol._, vol. xxii., p. 68.

_Centralbl. f. Inner. Med._, 1894, No. 40, p. 944.

_Munch. Med. Woch._, April 11 and April 18, 1899 (Influence of bodily
exercise upon temperature in health and disease).

Numerous articles by Mosso, Arbelous, W. Bain, Lauder-Brunton, Lepicque
and Marette, and Maggiora.]

[Footnote 21: American Journal of the Medical Sciences, May, 1894.]

[Footnote 22: Numerous examinations made since have quite uniformly
agreed with the former remarkably constant results.]

[Footnote 23: J.K. Mitchell, _loc. cit._]

[Footnote 24: Most induction batteries are without any arrangement for
making infrequent breaks in the current.]

[Footnote 25: In the extreme constipation of certain hysterical women,
good may be done by placing one conductor in the rectum and moving the
other over the abdomen so as to cause full movement of the muscles. This
means must at first be employed cautiously, and the amount of
electricity carefully increased. It is doubtful if any movement of the
intestinal muscle-fibres is thus caused, but that it is a useful method
of stimulation in obstinate cases may be taken as proved.]

[Footnote 26: Harvey on Corpulence.]

[Footnote 27: The management of the morphia or chloral habit becomes
much more easy under a milk diet, massage, and absolute rest, and I can
with confidence commend their use in these difficult cases. Massage in
the morning is liked, and general surface-rubbing without
muscle-kneading at night very often proves remarkably soothing, while
the rest in bed cuts off many opportunities to indulge in the temptation
to secure the desired drugs.]

[Footnote 28: I have found that this may be usefully replaced by one of
the numerous peptonized foods described in the pamphlets issued by the
manufacturers of the peptonizing powders. The ready-made peptonized
preparations vary very much, like some of the beef extracts, but a trial
will discover which of them is best fitted for an individual case.]
