The best preventive treatment for eclampsia is an absolute milk diet for at least a week it is not always possible to carry out, as many cannot tolerate it. Arnaud, based on observations from the clinic of prof. Magail, offers treatment with chloral, both in cases where, based on the usual precursors, the onset of eclamptic seizures can be expected after a few hours, and when it is possible to fear this in advance based on the history.
