gained his normal weight (120 pounds). As a criterion of his
bodily vigor, I will simply state that I have seen him lift,
with ease, 350 pounds, which, for a person of his weight, is not
bad. His mental force is as good as it has ever been. The
digestive disturbances have disappeared; he can eat things which
for years he had been compelled to eschew. To use his own words:
"I am well." In view of the fact that he had already received,
at the hands of competent men, all sorts of internal as well as
external treatment, I believe I am justified in attributing his
cure almost entirely if not solely to the baths.

CASE XI. Mr. * * *, aet. about 50, lawyer, of large, vigorous
frame, came to consult me January 4th, 1875. He complained of
symptoms that are the frequent results of prolonged mental
over-taxation. His intellect was as good as ever, but he lacked
his wonted mental endurance and power of application. His mind
was perfectly clear, but unable to work. It was a case of
"_limited_ cerebral exhaustion." Physical nutrition was pretty
good; yet his color was not normal, being rather paler than it
had been and has since become again. His flesh was flabby. There
were vague neurotic disturbances, etc., etc. He had until
recently occupied a leading public position, and the onerous
duties that devolved on him in connection with this, evidently
stood in direct etiological relation to his trouble. I ordered
an electric bath every other day. This was complied with until
the end of February, when the patient had apparently entirely
recovered his health, mentally as well as physically. I saw him
not very long ago; he looked the picture of health, and told me
that he was and had been since I saw him, perfectly well in
every respect.

CASE XII. Mr. L., aet. 23, presented himself for treatment in
October, 1874. He had at various times made the attempt to study
some profession, but had never been able to concentrate his mind
sufficiently on any object to enable him to persevere in its
pursuit. He was fretful, irritable and vacillating; would desire
one thing to-day, another to-morrow; never long of the same
mind. Melancholia, digestive disturbances and hypochondriacal
phenomena accompanied this condition. No organic disease was
discoverable. On October 1st he took his first bath. Very
