Une fois évincées les barrières provoquées par la distance et la langue, ce siècle a présidé à la diffusion de l'Acupuncture de par le monde. Face à une industrie chimique en pleine expansion, sous la pression intense de laquelle le praticien court le risque de se transformer en un vulgaire faiseur de recettes pour produits pré-fabriqués, l'Acupuncture, chargée d'une millénaire expérience, peut contribuer à rétablir la primordiale hiérarchie que l'activité médicale non spécialisée avait autrefois, en rendant ainsi au médecin praticien le libre jeu de sa personnalité face au patient.
Les cas soumis dans ce bref exposé, ont pour objet d'illustrer sur les amples possibilités de l'Acupuncture dans la pratique de tous les jours.-

In 37 examples instability, fear or feeling of impatience were eliminated and the inharmony of thought and speech was improved. The particular symptoms of a stammerer is the spasm in the various organs which is necessary for forming words and if the will to say something is stopped then it immediately vanishes. Therefore it is thought that it is due to a spiritual rather than a physical relationship. Moreover, the symptoms of stammering becoming gradually chronic would cause an over tension of the mind and body and also bring about an abnormal change in the spinal column and even though the abnormality of the spinal column are frequently experienced in other patients, in the case of stammerers, a great number. of examples were proved. The point which caught our particular attention in the curved area of the spinal column was that the parts between C6 and T6 and the surrounding abnormal parts of the muscles were applied as the most important points for treatmet.
The acupuncture of Kyoseki point had an influence upon the tenderness of back, chest and abdo men which commonly appeared to stammerers and an exchange of mutual action could be seen. It is almost the same result as the experience when independent moxibustion was performed on the 4 points of the back area and clarified the usefulness of the selection of a proper spot for treatment.
To sum up the treatment results of adults and children, it could be seen that the curves of the spinal column were corrected and that the abnormalities of the muscles together with the recovery of the symptoms of stammering progressed for the better. There were cases of a clear effect seen during process in the infant and young age group and with the imbeciles we have had experience of a favourable change in articulation after one treatment.
The bigger the curve of the spinal column the stronger the tendency for stammering symptoms and the muscle abnormalities of neck, and spinous process, the shoulder and back parts were touched objectly and that the abnormality between C6 and T1 had been more delayed and was able to see a recovery and such observations are the same as before.
Concerning the above results, it is said that there is no other corrective method for people with a stammer than exercises which emphasise breathing, articulation and speech but it was seen that effective action could be taken from the above treatments.

Characteristic change of impedance by a sinusoidal voltage of electro-dermal point is remarkable at low frequency area of below 1 K c/s and difference with the normal skin becomes smaller as frequency increases. That is to say, resistance component is small, capacity component is large and its loss angle gets larger. The value depends on each electro- dermal point. That is parallel to a series of permeable changes of electro-dermal point. In regards to inflammatory diseases with permeable skin changes, there is a great difference in impedance, in proportion to the depth of the skin where the disease exists. Therefore, when permeable changes exist in hypodermic tissues and Lower layers of the dermis, impedance element and loss angle shows almost no change to the normal skin in all the measurable frequencies.
The permeable changes reach the epidermis, change of impedance element becomes larger and at the low frequency area where the rate of change is great, as the result of spread of the disease to the layers of the epidermis, change rate of impedance and also loss angle become greater. That is, frequency characteristic curves of impedance element and loss angle of permeable disease at each depth in the epidermis, coincides, with these of various stages of electro-dermal point. Therefore, the fact that impedance element and loss angle of electro-dermal point shows various values can be considered as almost parallel to the stages in which exudative change and partial necrosis of electro-dermal points starting from the surrounding area of basal cell layer spread to the superficial layers of the epidermis.
Therefore, electro-dermal points of various stages, by using skin impedance bridge, can be recorded quantitatively and I trust that it will help advance the diagnostic significance of electrodermal points.
