electrize each muscle daily with that current to which it responds, and of a strength just sufficient to produce muscular contraction. If the powerless muscles have preserved their Farado-contractility it may be confidently predicted that they will rapidly recover; but it will almost invariably be found that while Farado-contractility is diminished or abolished, there is increased response to the interrupted Voltaic current. They should be treated then with this current alone. Hot spongings and shampooings should also be employed, and it is of great importance that in the intervals of treatment the temperature of the affected muscles should be maintained at as high a degree as possible. If the leg is affected, a stocking of pure spun silk should be constantly worn, day and night, in addition to the ordinary clothing; if the arm, a silken sleeve. [SN: Importance of active and passive movements in Paralysis.] When in any form of paralysis ANY amount of voluntary power has been restored by electricity, it is most important that the patient should be encouraged to use the limb and practise various movements. Passive movements are of equal importance, and the paralyzed muscles should be frequently exercised by this mode to the fullest extent of their normal movements. For example, if the extensors of the hand and fingers are paralyzed, the hand and fingers should be passively flexed and extended completely, at intervals of a few seconds, for some minutes, and so on with all the paralyzed muscles in succession. [SN: Rule for Muscular Electrization.] As soon as there is return of reaction to Faradization, Faradization should be alone used, and the rule in all cases of localized muscular electrization, muscular contraction being sought, is to use that current to which the muscles respond, and _I do not know of any exception to this rule_; but a successful result in severe cases of atrophic--not alone infantile paralysis, but all varieties of atrophic paralysis--is brought about by painstaking, daily, tedious, uninteresting treatment, with no chance of brilliant or rapid results, but which if thoroughly, faithfully, and patiently carried out, will reward us by progressive improvement, and sometimes--even in cases regarded not long ago as quite hopeless--complete recovery.
