Fig. 36.—Body vacuum electrode trode is made in sets of three, the first having a low red vacuum,the second a white vacuum, and the third an x-ray vacuum. Thelow vacuum is indicated where a current of a sedative nature isrequired—the relief of acute congestion, inflammation, pain, andan increase of nutrition. The second is indicated in low chronicconditions, where the vital resistance is below normal, includingseveral forms of nervous and skin diseases. The third, or high ELECTROSTATICS 69 vacuum tube, combines the destructive effects of the x-ray with theactive stimulating effects of the Tesla currents, and may be mosteffectively used in the treatment of the various forms of malig-nant disease. The vacuum electrodes may be used with the staticmachine as well as with the induction coil. They may be connecteddirectly with the prime conductor by means of a wire or chain, orsome form of resonator or coil may be used to increase the fre-quency. When the electrodes are connected direct
