A patient became hypochondriac, in consequence of chronic derangement of bowels, struck with rush of blood to the head, face became crimson, lost speech and consciousness, had convulsions and spasmodic movement of the arms. First operation was to put him into a cold bath, and use strong friction for an hour. He was put into a packing-sheet, in which he became delirious; he was then rubbed by four men in a tepid bath, 64°. He was still unconscious and yet winced on being pinched; water thrown on his head caused a slight cry; great heat on the head. On ceasing the cold affusion, pulse though oppressed began to be felt--eyes fixed--conjunctiva inflamed. Friction continued two hours, then ceased for one hour and a half, and begun again: in an hour spasms ceased, eyes began to move, without seeing. Patient apparently exhausted, pulse gained its power, though still often intermittent, upper part of the body hot, lower extremities could not be warmed all night, consciousness had not returned in the morning, pulse better, but sleep interrupted,--patient groaning. All night wet bandage applied to the head. At 6 o'clock next morning, sweating process, perspiration preceded consciousness, up to which moment patient was insensible to all that had occurred. After half an hour's sweating, he was well rubbed in tepid bath 66°, and put to bed, when he slept. On awaking he partook of bread and milk. At 2 o'clock P.M., awoke covered with perspiration, and from that time until next morning, slept at intervals, pulse regular, talked calmly and rationally, bowels in a normal state. In the morning, packing-sheet; and later, sweating process; both followed by tepid bath 64°--temperature of the body still high. After good night's rest, appetite returned, and so much better as to renew the treatment to effect a cure of that which brought him to Gräfenberg. LXXXVII.--FŒTID PERSPIRATION OF THE FEET. This is relieved by foot-baths, and wearing a bandage on the feet at night; but it cannot be cured without the sweating process. LXXXVIII.--STRICTURE. Sweating and tepid bath, and cold sitz-baths, are generally resorted to in this complaint. If cold water is found too severe, tepid is used for a time; a bandage is always applied to parts affected. For stoppage of the water, three to six rubbing-sheets; if they fail, resort to sweating process until water comes, then a tepid bath, or rubbing-sheet. Medical men, to effect this object, put the patient first into a warm bath, and then bleed him until he faints: by these means, the prostate gland becomes relaxed, and water flows; or water is passed by the use of catheters, which at Gräfenberg are always dispensed with. LXXXIX.--INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS AND URETHRA. The treatment must be regulated by circumstances: sometimes sweating, at other times the packing-sheet, tepid bath, and bandage. XC.--HYDROCEPHALUS.
