Switch into circuit the No. 21 and No. 32 secondary coils,the rapid vibrator and four cells. Increase the current strengthfrom zero until it maintains a strong contraction of the partsfor ten minutes. This simple but useful application can be employed in allcases which appear to require help or which progress slowly, OBSTETRICAL USES OF ELECTRIC CURRENTS. 475 and in atonic cases the benefit will be marked. Even afterthe patient is up and about the applications can often wiselybe continued three or four times a week for a fortnight longer,when, if necessary, the bipolar method can be used. Thevaginal bipolar electrode may be employed as soon as thesecond week after delivery. The intra-uterine bipolar shouldnot be used until the safer methods have completed their work,and only when the liability of sepsis is reduced to nil. Discussion on Electricity in Obstetric
