I. PAROTITIS BILATEEALIS.
ArtiUeryman K was taken under treatment on the l7th of
December 1888.
The parotid glands on both sides were swollen, the swelling
extending from the zygomatic arch to below the lower jaw. They
were hard and painful, and had the size of a hen’s egg. The
pain was so great that the patient was unable to open his
mouth. Hearing impaired. The illness commenced on the
previous day.
Progress.—After about twenty minutes’ treatment, the glands
sank to within a third of their former volume, and were soft.
Bee. 18th. Pain and swelling less than after treatment the
day before.
Dec. 19th. Hears well again ; no pain, no swelling; movement
of lower jaw painless and free.
Treatment.—Petrissage. The pressure was applied in a half
circle, from above backwards and downwards. I stood behind
tlie patient, and used the ball of the thumbs, in order that no
unnecessary pain should be caused. The petrissage did not act
quickly enough, and therefore vibrations were made with the
same parts of my hands, which had a greater effect in diminish-
ing not only the pain, but also the swelling. I also gave frictions
over the facial nerve for about a minute.
II. TONSILLITIS.
Pdnaldo K, 22 years old, non-commissioned officer of the
I. and 11. Navy, came for treatment on the 11th December 1888.
