be  free  from  that  infernal  cough,  and  having  to  get  up  in
the  night  and  shut  myself  up  in  a  closet  to  avoid  waking
the  rest  of  the  family  up.  When  I  catch  a  little  cold  now
it  goes  off  again  and  I  never  have  the  faintest  pain  in  my
chest.  This  is  pretty  good  after  three  years  of  constant
trouble  that  even  the  climate  of  California  failed  in  the
least  to  alleviate.  I  am  coming  up  some  day  soon  to  show
myself.  Sincerely  yours,  F.  P.  F."

Phthisis. — I  will  likewise  offer  but  one  case  of  phthisis  :

Miss  R.,  aged  twenty-eight  years.  Referred  to  me  by
Dr.  Frederick  A.  Burrall,  of  this  city,  with  history  of  ac-
tive pulmonary  tuberculosis.  Has  had  several  attacks
of  haemorrhage;  has  dulness  under  the  right  clavicle
and  dry  pleurisy  ;  has  harassing  cough,  frequent  slight
haemorrhages;  cannot  retain  her  morning  meal,  and  had
reached  a  point  where  she  was  losing  weight  and  her  food
was  not  assimilated.  Duration  of  disease  about  two
years.  The  noon  temperature  was  usually  about  99.50  ;
after  treatment  it  was  lowered  to  about  990,  though  these
relations  varied  from  time  to  time.  The  patient  received
three  treatments  a  week  only.  Since  the  third  she  has
never  failed  to  keep  down  her  breakfast.  She  has  re-
ceived about  twelve  treatments  and  has  gained  six  pounds
in  weight.  Both  statical  electricity  and  ozone  were  ad-
ministered. Her  physician  reports:  "The  cough  has
much  diminished,  the  nausea  quickly  disappeared,  patient
has  gained  six  pounds  and  has  evidently  assimilated  food
and  remedies.  I  notice  the  same  improved  pharyngeal
hue  from  pale  to  ruddy  which  I  noticed  in  the  previous
case  [under  the  same  treatment].  Her  unfavorable
symptoms  are  all  generally  ameliorated."

This  was  a  year  ago,  and  from  reports  received  last
summer  I  understand  the  patient  retained  the  improve-
ment gained.
