rest-cure(n.)

To [Dr. S. Weir Mitchel] also belongs the honor of having devised the method known as the "rest cure," which has proven so beneficial in a class of cases constituting an "opprobrium medicorum." He defines this class to be "chiefly women—nervous women, who as a rule are thin and lack blood"—treated in turn for gastric, spinal or uterine troubles, but who remained at the end, as at the beginning, invalids, unable to attend to the duties of life, and sources of discomfort to themselves and anxiety to others. [Chicago Medical Gazette, Jan. 20, 1880]
荣誉也归于[韦尔·米切尔医生],他发明了被称为"休息疗法"的方法,这种方法在一类被称为"医学耻辱"的病例中证明了其益处。他将这一类病例定义为"主要是女性——神经衰弱的女性,通常体型瘦弱,缺乏血液",这些女性轮流接受胃、脊柱或子宫问题的治疗,但最终仍然是病人,无法履行生活职责,成为自己的负担和他人的焦虑。[芝加哥医学公报,1880年1月20日]
