ntly; he

CASE XVII.* _Sub-hemiplegia from cerebral hemorrhage._ Mrs. S.,
aet. 30, married, from the practice of Dr. KREHBIEL, was sent by
Dr. K. to take baths, July 3d, 1874. It was a routine case,
differing in no respect from what is ordinarily witnessed as a
sequence of cerebral hemorrhage. Six baths, taken at intervals
of two and three days, restored almost entirely the muscular
power of the affected side. The patient subsequently made a
complete recovery without further treatment.

CASE XVIII. _Paralysis from insolation._ Mr. P., proof-reader
aet. about 40, had suffered for some time from sub-paraplegia,
the result of insolation. He was sent to take baths in May,
1874, by his physician, Dr. SCHIRMER. Electro-balneological
treatment in this case met with no success.

CASE XIX. _Lead paralysis._ Mr. M., aet. about 35, painter, was
referred to me for treatment May 15th, 1874, by Dr. MOHN. The
extensors of one (I believe it was the right) arm were
paralyzed. The characteristic blue line about the gums was
clearly defined. I ordered an electric bath daily. The
descending galvanic current was used for twenty minutes each
bath. From half to one ounce of iodide of potassium was added to
each bath. The blue line became less distinct from day to day,
until, after eleven baths, it had entirely disappeared. The
object for which I had ordered the baths having now been
accomplished, I treated the affected muscles with the faradic
current. A short course of this treatment sufficed to remove the
paralysis from all but one finger (it was either the middle or
ring finger), the extensors of which had probably undergone
fatty degeneration.

NEURALGIAE.

The great variety of causes that may give rise to neuralgia, precludes
the possibility of any specific for this symptom. In discussing its
electro-balneological treatment, I would observe _a primo_ that I
cannot, in the light of my personal experience, agree with those who
claim for electrical treatment good results in a _majority_ of
cases.[16] On the other hand it cannot be denied that, either as a
palliative or curative measure, electricity, employed in an appropriate
form and manner, is of inestimable value in many cases, and frequently
succeeds where all other remedies are of no avail. Where we know the
cause of a
