Most of the motor neuroses not already mentioned can be benefited by ningbo massage girl, by restoration either of tone or of rhythm. They are chiefly nothing more than symptoms either of psychasthenia, hysteria, or neurasthenia, and tend to disappear or to remain according to the progress of the general disease.

Hyperacidity and supersecretion can both be remedied to a certain extent by massage. In the former a long drink when digestion is at its height, - say two or three hours after a meal, according to the food taken, - followed by massage, tends to rid the stomach of all irritating material, and may avert the sequel of chronic dyspepsia. In supersecretion it should be possible so to hasten the onflow of the gastric contents by massage in ningbo as to minimise the risk of dilatation. Restoration of general strength and stability is the only method of cure. In sub-acidity cases the latter is the only course open to us, as the mobility of the stomach remains unchanged, and no irritating material is present which requires removal.
The sensory neuroses are all symptomatic of irritability of the central nervous system, and therefore call for treatment as outlined for neurasthenia. Local stomach treatment will probably be found useful from the psychical aspect.
It is usual to administer massage to the coils of small intestine, whenever general abdominal treatment is undertaken. The raison d'etre of the practice is not clear. In the first place, during X-ray examination for obstruction, etc., it is the rarest thing possible, unless mechanical obstruction is present, for delay in the small bowel to be detected after the bismuth meal. Only if the caecum is at fault or if a "kink" is present is delay noticed in the last few inches of the ileum, unless again there is organic obstruction  hklfd0tp. The aid of massage should then be invoked only in exceptional cases, and probably with a view to stretching adhesions under an old scar. Next, unless visible peristalsis is present, it is impossible to judge in what direction the contents of the bowel under the hand are moving. Thus it may easily happen that we attempt to force the contents of the bowel "against the stream."
