call for
blood which will revitalize and stimulate the weakened conditions. A
woman with this trouble should be careful about bending quickly over, or
climbing stairs, until she gains strength.

RETROVERSION:--Place the patient with face downward on bed or mat and
with a small pillow under the lower part of the abdomen. Relax the
muscles by applying a hot towel, hot salt bag or hot water-bottle just
below the small of the back, and lower part of the abdomen for ten or
fifteen minutes. (Hot salt bags are most effective and are easy to
handle.) Then rub the back briskly with a circular movement; if tender
in front, do not rub the abdomen. The circulation will gradually carry
away any inflammation as soon as the muscles reach a normal condition,
though kneading of back and abdomen, using sweet oil on the hand, is
helpful if the patient can bear it.

The patient must remember that these conditions have been months in
coming and only painstaking work and time can restore the weakened
organs. The manner of dress is very important; loose, comfortable
clothing must be worn. Sleep with the face down as much as possible;
nature will correct itself, if allowed, many times.

FIRST EXERCISE:--Fold arms under forehead and draw right knee up close
to body and hold two minutes (unless painful) and slowly straighten, and
stretch very slowly. Do the same with the left leg until the patient can
repeat the exercise twelve times with each leg and hold five minutes
instead of two, with the knee close to the body. It will probably take
two weeks to gain strength for this. After that time raise the body up
on hands, and move legs just as a baby does when creeping, except that
the patient only follows the movement and does not move along.

SECOND EXERCISE:--Patient take sitting position on floor and clasp hands
under knees, and bring knees up, so that chin and knees meet and hold.
Then straighten legs, slide hands toward the heels as far as hands can
reach, (stretch hands toward heels); make a continuous movement of this.

THIRD EXERCISE:--Sit on floor. Place the hands on floor at sides, legs
straight out in front, lift the body from the floor with the arms, up
and down. This is a fine exercise for raising up the misplaced organs.

FOURTH EXERCISE:--Place the patient flat on back and push the body up to
sitting position with hands quite far back and palms down, recline
again, up and down until arms and back are very tired. Then sit up, le
