Abstract
To the Editor: —I was much interested in the short notice of Dr. Morris Kahn on A Method of Improving Circulation in Varicose Ulcers (The Journal, May 3, 1924, p. 1442). I must point out, however, that the process described is merely a crude form of the manual treatment of ulcers and war wounds, the technic for which was described by me in the New York Medical Journal 93 :978, 1911; Medical Press and Circular 99 :291, 1915, and the Practitioner 100 :491, 1918, all recently reprinted in my Collected Papers on Mechano-Therapeutics, 1924. Even massage pure and simple has been described in medical literature as a treatment for ulcers, at intervals during the last thirty years.
