The patients are taught to take in a short breath through the nose and then to breathe out "forcibly" through the mouth with a wh'lsh- ing, or hissing noise; this makes i the patient conscious of the breath- ing but part of the exercise which is really" the important-part. These exercises must be done for lo min- utes at a. time two or three times a day.
