ed to the house five
weeks. The left knee and both feet and ankle joints were much
swollen. The affected joints were exquisitely sensitive. Both
legs were very feeble, and coupled with this was great general
debility. Locomotion was rendered difficult to such an extent
that even the aid of two stout canes did not enable him to
dispense with additional help in mounting my doorsteps. The
first bath (Oct. 7th) was followed by no favorable results.
Indeed, the patient thought he felt worse, if anything. He
followed my directions, however, to take a bath every other day.
From the first three baths he received little or no benefit. The
fourth bath however had a very marked beneficial effect.
Immediately after it he was able to dispense with one of his
canes, and thenceforth improved steadily and rapidly. He took
his last bath Nov. 10th 1874, having taken in all fourteen
baths. He made a perfect recovery. At present (December 1875) he
has had no return of the disease, nor any other illness; says he
never felt better in his life.

CASE IV.--CHRONIC RHEUMATISM. Mr. K., from the _clientele_ of
Dr. Lusk, had been a sufferer from chronic rheumatism for a long
time. As far as I could gather, the disease originated in an
acute attack some two years ago. He came for his first bath on
June 21st, 1875. Between that date and July 16th following he
took twelve baths, which resulted in a complete cure.

CASE V.--CHRONIC RHEUMATISM. Mr. L., aet. 60, had been subject
to chronic rheumatism for many years. When he presented himself
for treatment (19th June, 1874) his health in other respects was
fair. The flexor tendons of the fingers of both hands were more
or less contracted, the result of previous rheumatic attacks. I
ordered him the baths, without any adjuvant treatment
whatsoever. His improvement was rapid. Between June 19th and
July 15th he took fifteen baths, a perfect and (thus far)
permanent cure resulting. Mr. L. has frequently taken baths
since then, solely however for the sake of their general tonic
effects.

CHOREA.

The utility in this disease of electricity has been for some time past
almost universally conceded. While some vaunt the faradic, others prefer
the galvanic current in its treatment. It appears that thus far the best
results have been obtained o
