HYPOPEPSIA-Graduated tonic treatment (Tonic Frictions), Ice Bag over stomach half an hour before each meal.

CONTRAINDICATIONS-Avoid prolonged Hot Baths and Cold Full Baths.

GENERAL METHOD-The general plan of treatment must be such as to secure increased income of tissue-building material with a diminished outflow, hence the diet must be very simple, easily assimilable, and taken in as large a quantity as possible. Exercise must be diminished or, in grave cases, suspended altogether. Moderate exercise may be allowed, if necessary, to maintain the appetite. Special attention must be given to increase of the appetite and improvement of digestion by suitable hydrotherapy applications. Cold applications must be very short and intense, so as to produce strong nervous impressions upon the nerve centers without removing animal heat, to any considerable degree, or increasing oxidation.
