In rt the poles are placed near each other. In li the poles are more widelyseparated. The size of the electrodes shown in the cut is the same for both the anode andcathode. medulla which accompany bulbar paralysis may, in some cases, be heldin check for a while and the symptoms markedly improved b} placingthe positive electrode (of large size) at the nape of the neck and asclose as possible to the foramen magnum, and appl3ing the negativeelectrode (covered with absorbent cotton and attached to a long handle)successively to the pharynx, fauces, tongue, cheeks, and lips. As stronga current as the patient can easily endure should be used. The durationof the sitting should not exceed five minutes. It is well to complete thesitting by passing transverse currents through the neck, so as to excitethe muscles concerned in deglutition. S
