Aerothermic Treatment in Nasal Affections. , of Bordeaux, writing in 1901, of the aero-thermic treatment, draws the following conclusionsas to when the method should be used: 1. In cases of spasmodic rhinitis. 2. In cases of acute and subacute rhinitis. 462 ELECTKICITY IN DISEASES OF THE JSTOSE. 5. In cases of hypertrophic rhinitis, with Fig. 128.—Sharps Nasal Copper Bipolar Electrode for Cata-phoresis. OZENA. Writing in 1906, Tommaso Lncrezio states thathe finds in literature the records of eleven cases ofozena that have been treated with currents of high-frequency. Two of these he treated, with excellent current is applied by the monopolar method, theelectrode being covered with parafSn. A rationaltherapeutic plan will include the removal of allcrusts, efficient antisepsis, and excitation of the re-generative functions of the tissues. The high-fre-quency sparks do all three of these things. The sparks have electrolytic and antisepticpowers by which they produce effects on ferments,micro-organisms and products of secretion. Themuscular fibres contract and, with the aid of theelectro-static action, the exudate is removed. Ozoneis produced which acts as a disinfectant. At thepoint of contact of the electrode, ischaemia is pro-duced, followed by
