Nor can he get away with a shaky memory ("ridiculous and dangerous," says Highet, "like . . . a doctor who gives one gram of digitalis instead of one grain. . . or a merchant who cannot find the goods his customers want").

By 1937 Dr. Schemm was telling Montana colleagues that his treatment was a success. "Restriction of water," he said, "is useless, harmful and a cause of suffering...
