Isy. A1d also TO avoid losing time,
| had, till l was SIXTY years old,
the habit Of Ascending ADd descend
ing stairs 50 rapidly that my movements
Sere rather those of running than Of
walking. This had gradually changed,
and / had eome to move slowly up and
down stairs, having to hold the banister
in ditheult s~tAircases. After the second
injection / found tha, ! had fully re-
gained my old powers and returned TO
nv previous habit in that respect.
Ny limbs, tested with . dynamometer
for 9 week before my trial and during
f.FH.-.- 49, EraA .r.&rrr
showed . decided gain OF strength. The
average number OF kilogrammes moved
by the hexors Of the right forearm be-
fore the first injection was about 34a
from 80 to 81. and after that injection
IL iron 80 to ~. the gain being from
six TO sever kilogrammes. In that re-
speet the forearm fexors r~eacquired in .
great measure the strength they had
when / was living in London tmore than
twenty six years agol. The average
number of kilogrammes moved by those
muscles in London in 1868 was As 40 to
46 kilogrsmmesl.
With regard to the faculty OF intellec-
tual labor, which had diminished within
the last few years, . ssturn to my pre-
| vious ordinary condition became quite
manifest during and after the FIRST two
or three days Of my experiments.
1t is evident from these facts and
some others that all the functions de-
pending on the power OF action of the
nervous c%enters, and especially Of the
spinal cord, were notably and rapidly
improved by the injections ! have used.
The last Of these injections was made on
June 8. about five weeks and = half ago.
/ ceased making use Of them for the pur.
pose of ascertaining how long their good
effects would last. For four weeks nc
marked change occurred. but gradually,
although rapidly, from the Sd of this
month tJulyl / have Witnessed almost q
complete return Of the state Of weak.
ness which existed before the frat injec-
ton. The loss OF strength Is an excel
lent counter proof as regards the demon
s~tration Of the influence exerted on me
by the subcutaneous injections Of . fluid.
