Con-ducting cords and all varieties of electrodes employed with coilcurrents are available for Leyden-jar currents, and no specialelectrodes are required. The great variety of effects obtained from static currents areto be produced by the great variety of practical manipulations. Set of Electrodes and Standard furnished with the Static Machine by the Manufacturers. THERAPEUTIC METHODS. 55 of current strength, conditions of treatment, and a few essentialelectrodes, rather than by multiplying the number of electrodes. The traditional umbrella crown electrode is superseded by asmall group of pointed and fine wires bunched together. Thisproduces a concentrated head breeze instead of the diffusedscattering of the current caused by the umbrella. As a practicalelectrode the large, clumsy, but time-honored umbrella is con-trary to the established principles of therapeutic breeze appli-cation. The improved platform of to-day is the most essential acces-sory accompanying the static machine. The ordinary size isforty-two inches long by twenty-seven wide and is supported afoot above the floor by solid glass legs. All corners and edgesare rounded.
