Starting froman almost imperceptible point,the strength of the current should be increased gradually and with reference to the patients toler-ance. If after the seance the patient walks easily and confesses that sheis free from the pain that tormented her previously, we may know thatthe strength of the current was properly graded. If there should be nocomplications, or no general condition contra-indicating the use of thecurrent, amelioration occurs after three or four sittings. The verymoderate amount of pain experienced in the region of the external elec-trode may be reduced to nil by making this of large surface and keepingit moist. After a time pains in the uterus simulating labor-pains arefelt. This does not always occur during the first sitting, even after asitting of five minutes. Formerly I used the bipolar intra-uterine method, but I was not. Fig. 1. G-138 TRIPIER. satisfied with it. The difference in intensity resulting from the acci-dental but inevitable unsteadiness of the contacts was more unpleasantto the patient than the method which I now use. The bipolar methodhas been taken up by Apostoli, who seems satisfied with his modificationof my electrode. I have not, however, found any more satisfaction inusing it than I did in using my own electrode with cervical rings. This method of treatment for circulating derangements by hyper-semlc drainage allows of many applications. In dysmenorrhoea, as wellas in the pains of post-partum congestion, this method is useful; also, asa derivative, in the pulmonary congestions of the menopause. Displacements of the Uterus.
