CASE XXVIII. Mrs. * *, aet. 55, in average health, without however being robust, had suffered from constipation for about thirty years. She had had every possible medicinal treatment, with no avail. Nothing had ever ameliorated her condition. Without the aid of a cathartic, her bowels moved but once every week or ten days. She was of course compelled frequently to resort to laxatives. In the fall of 1873 I ordered her electric baths. She was not very energetic in anything, and this lack of energy caused her to take the baths less frequently than I desired her to. Had she taken them regularly, she would probably have been restored in as many weeks as it took months to effect her restoration. As it was, she took some thirty baths in the course of about fifteen months. For nearly a year past she has had a passage every day with the utmost regularity. No adjuvant treatment was employed in this case. CASE XXIX.* Emil Miller, a bright child two years of age, was brought for treatment July 7th, 1874. He had suffered from obstinate constipation almost from his birth. Had been under the care of several physicians, but had never received any benefit from treatment. Even with the aid of powerful cathartics, given in doses suitable for an adult rather than a child, defecation took place only once every three or four days, and was so exceedingly painful as to elicit cries of pain from the child. The feces were always hard and lumpy, and of an abnormally light color. A digital examination per rectum revealed considerable flaccidity. My diagnosis was _paresis of the muscularis of the intestine_. I ordered faradic baths. On July 12th the first bath was administered, and I must confess that the result was a perfect surprise to me. True, I had expected a cure to take place; but I had looked for gradual improvement, and was not prepared for a result such as was here obtained. _From the time the first bath was taken, defecation took place regularly once a day, without pain; the feces became perfectly normal both as to color and consistency, and the boy continues to the present day to defecate regularly and in every respect normally._ To insure permanency, the baths were continued, at first twice, then once a week. They have now been discontinued for upwards of a year, there being no occasion for their further use. No other therapeutic measures, internal or external, were resorted to in this case, nor was any change made in the diet of the child. HYDRARGYROSIS. The etiology of this condition requires no comment. I will simply relate a case illustrative of the eliminative effects of galvanic baths.
