Within a week I had the patient lying in a bright sunlit room in the front of the house, with the windows open, and she complained no longer of the noise.

Within ten days the whole spine could be rubbed freely from top to bottom, and from the first I directed the masseuse to be relentless in her manipulation of this part of the body.

In a few weeks she had gained flesh largely, the dusky hue of her complexion had vanished, and she looked a different being.

The only trouble complained of was sleeplessness, but it did not interfere with the satisfactory progress of the case, and no hypnotic was given.

After the first few days we had no return of the nerve-crises which in the country had formed so characteristic a part of her illness.
Her hands and feet also, at first of a remarkable deadly coldness, soon became warm, and remained so.
