Abstract
Eclampsia is best treated by certain definite procedures which by their success or failure permit one to note the progress of the case. After delivery or death of the fetus a marked blood dilution takes place, during which period a diuresis occurs. Clinical improvement is closely associated with these phenomena. The eclamptic patient has an increased tolerance for glucose, probably due to the retention of chlorides found in pregnancy. The injection of large amounts of intravenous glucose solution will simulate temporarily at least the effect produced by delivery. The prognosis for the patient with a severe type of eclampsia is chiefly favored by delivery or early fetal death.
