![CHAPTEE III. THERAPEUTIC MOVEMENTS. The treatment of cardiac affections, as practised by Dr. Schott, is not, however, limited by tbe therapeutic influences of the baths. As the result of a series of elaborate and prolonged experiments carried out by him and his deceased brother, Dr. August Schott, a system of exercises has been devised which yields results as striking as those of the baths. Their effect is illustrated by the following records, which were made in I^auheim by myself in conjunction with Dr. Hermann, of Charkoff, in August, 1893. The patient was a stout, well-built, fresh-looking man, forty years of age. He brought letters from Pro- fessor von Jiirgensen of Tubingen and from his brother, who is a medical man, both of which described him as having been addicted to alcoholic excesses and being the subject of cor adiposum. Before the exercises the heart sounds were barely audible through a binaural stethoscope, and the apex beat was inappreciable. There was some oedema of the lower extremities.
