THE medical work in Mussoorie has become firmly established; and each season, the number of patients increases, as our treatment rooms become better known.
NURSES AND PATIENT Mrs. A. G. Kelsey, with the little Indian girl who was so badly burned, and an Indian trained nurse.
Last season, we had an Indian prince with us for treatment. He is reported to be the second wealthiest prince in India. He came with his retinue of servants, who looked very nice in their navy blue and red uniforms. Two of his secretaries also accompanied him. The prince, whose title is "Gaekwar of Baroda," is an educated man, and speaks English well. He was much interested in our methods, and greatly benefited by the treatments he had. His malady was gout. When he first came, he could not walk without limping; but after a few days, his limp quite disappeared.
He evidently talked with the ladies of his household about the various treatments he received; for one day, two of them came to take a treatment, "just for fun," they said. They wanted to try everything, to see how it all felt.
This is what we gave them: first an electric light bath, then the galvanic tub bath, after that a Scotch douche, then the arc light a few minutes, dry galvanism, and the vibrator. Finally they came to high frequency—the blue light—and then the full volume. It was evening, and they were amused to see how they could be made to sparkle with the high frequency current. They left us much pleased with their "just for fun" treatment.
The prince permitted himself to be photographed while taking treatment, and said we might use the picture. He seemed interested in the Bible truths taught him.
