    lation of the bowels is most necessary, either by drugs (menthol and camphor are advised as intestinal antiseptics) or by spa treatment in Kissingen, etc. Strychnin, quinin, atropin and arsenic have all been praised for internal medication; I have several times used the latter with success. Electricity, massage, and hydriatic procedures deserve consideration. That tracheotomy is sometimes indicated I need scarcely mention. The gastrointestinal symp- toms occasionally necessitate the use of morphin. 4
