A non-surgical treatise on diseases of the prostate gland and adnexa . erves involved, instead of depressing them, as isthe case with most all other anodynes. Another com-mendable property of this current is, that it is far reachingand penetrates the deep tissues that are inaccessible toother means, except those given constitutionally, withtheir disturbing influence upon the system. It, at thesame time, generates ozone, a most active local bactericide,besides being a marked tonic to the lungs and the systemin general, and especially to the nerves throughout thebody. It is a well known fact that pain alone will per-petuate irritation and inflammation, and the relief af-forded by this current during the course of treatment ofthese tender organs, not only adds comfort to the patient, 216 THE TREATMENT OF STRICTURE. but materially hastens the progress of the treatment. I herewith append some very interesting and edifyingexperiments made upon hay infusoria with the high fre-quency current; in comparison with the other different elec-tric currents. •m> s^. Fig. XXXIIe illustrates two glass slides which are sep-arated two centimeters by means of soft rubber around theedges and ends. On the inside of the rubber at each endnonoxidizable pieces of metal are so arranged that cord-tips (+j —) are attached thereto. The space between theslides is filled with a solution containing the infusoria. Fig. XXXIIc. My first experiment was to transmit a mild galvanic cur-rent through the fluid, when the germs would immediatelypass from the positive ( + ) to the negative (—) current was then suddenly reversed, when the germswould at once turn and move to the opposite pole. Astrong current would cause them to move more breaking the circuit they would be slowly diffusedthrough the fluid again. After a few experiments ofreversing the currents of from one to three minutes dura*tion, the germs became very sluggish. The sinusoidal current was then tried upon a fresh
