The subject, A. G. M., was a young man aged 26, weight, 153lbs.; axillary temperature, 97. 7°; mouth, °; rectal, °; surfacetemperature at the epigastrium, 97°. The patient drank in rapidsuccession seven glasses of lemonade at 58°. A fall in the axillarytemperature was noted in five minutes. At the end of twentyminutes, the axillary temperature was °; mouth, gS*^; rectal,98°; surface temperature at the epigastrium, 92°. The great fall in surface temperature at the epigastinum, afterdrinking ice-water, may be utilized as a means of locating thestomach and determining its size and contour. The interestingfact that a very marked depression in the surface temperature ofthe skin overlying the stomach takes place as the result ofdrinking a quantity of ice-water, was first noted by Dr. F. J. Otis(1898), while a medical student, engaged in carrying out experi-mental researches under the direction of the BIBLIOGRAPHY. With very few exceptions all the following authorities have beenconsulted in the preparation of this work, and a considerable numberare referred to in foot-notes in the preceding pages. This list, how-ever, is not presented by any means complete. The bibliography ofhydrotherapy has within the last few years grown to enormous pro-portions. It is believed, however, that the major part of what isworth reading upon this subject may be found in the works namedbelow.
