Liable to fever. 3 P.M.:
Before Massage. After Massage.

These temperatures were taken always before 4 P.M., and at intervals of
three days. Her morning temperature was usually 99 deg. to 99-4/5 deg., and in
the evening, 9 to 10 o'clock, it always rose to 100 deg., 101 deg., and at times
to 102 deg..
As I have said already, there are persons who, under circumstances
seemingly alike, have from massage a large rise of temperature, and
others who experience none. I give a single case of what is rare but not
exceptional,--an almost constant fall of temperature.
Miss N., aet. 21, hysteria, good condition:
Before Massage. After Massage.
98 97-3/5
98-1/2 98-1/2
98 98
98-2/5 98
98-4/5 98
These facts are, of course, extremely interesting; but it is well to add
that the success of the treatment is not indicated in any constant way
by the thermal changes, which are neither so steady nor so remarkable as
those caused by electricity.
