I was called to a case which the physician had pronounced paralysis of the throat.
The patient could swallow no food without throwing much of it back through the nose, and was unable to utter but one intelligible word, viz.: "mamma." The judgment of the M.D. was that the patient would sometime regain her voice, but not until the lapse of many months. In the course of two or three days after treatment, she could take her food without the slightest difficulty; in less than three weeks every symptom of the case had disappeared and the patient was perfectly well.
