Intermittent Fever Ague And Fever

Use the A D current. First, give general tonic treatment. (See page
95.) Then close the sitting with a strong current, running from spleen
to liver--P. P. upon spleen, in the left side, just below the ribs, and
N. P. upon liver--best reached in the right side, close under the ribs,
and around backward and a little upward as far as to the spine. The
spleen is morbidly positive, and probably enlarged, while the liver is
too negative. Treat spleen and liver in this transverse manner about
five minutes.
If the chills occur on alternate days, treat on the intervening days; if
every day, treat about two hours before the chill is expected.
