The two latter may be made at one dash and should be directed toward the nasal canthus; then following this the patient should lie down and apply the cold salt water compress for a half hour. One of the treatments should be at bedtime, another the first thing in the morning. In epilepsy, chorea or other nervous exhibits, remember they are not diseases, and the fact that drugs have failed in curing them proves that they must be from mechanical causes, as that is the only classification left. It is true that under such conditions the chemistry of the stomach will be imperfect, and while many of the attacks come on after eating, still it is more mechanical than chemical even then, because they always have the fits in such cases just after overloading the stomach, thus proving that it is quantitative rather than a qualitative proposition. Of course we look after the eyes among others things, and we may safely devote more attention to mechanics even though as a matter of course we watch the quality as well as quantity of food.
