The moral health of some could be restored only by turning their
thoughts and inclinations upside down, as patients are treated
according to this description:
In France, when a patient is under chloroform, on the slightest
symptom appearing of failure of the heart, they turn him nearly
upside down--that is, with his head downward and his heels
in the air. This, they say, always restores him; and such is
their faith in the efficacy of this method that the operating
tables in the Paris hospitals are made so that in an instant
they can be elevated with one end in the air, so as to bring
the patient into a position resembling that of standing on the
head.--_Scientific American._
