(Q)  Would "Friendly Fever" be of help in relieving condition of the joints?
(A)  As we find, the deep therapy - the superficial circulation increased, you see, by the massage as combined with the effect upon all of the glandular system with the low electrical forces of the Wet Cell Appliance and the Chloride of Gold internally, as well as vibratorially - these would really be more effective than the "Friendly Fever."
    For if the diathermy is given properly, not too high, not too long at a give period but with these other activities, it will produce a better condition in relieving this tendency for stiffening in the joints, and those massages will relieve the conditions along the cerebrospinal system.
