A non-surgical treatise on diseases of the prostate gland and adnexa . trodecauses similar movement of the upper end upon the vesi-cles, and produces mild contraction of the latter. Thishas a soothing effect upon these sacs, and at the sametime rids them of their morbid contents, reducing theinflammation of the organs, and that, too, without procure the best results, this application must be madewith ten thousand ohms resistance interposed. After all acute tenderness of both the prostate and vesi-cles has subsided, I apply to both organs the sinusoidalcurrent in the same way, and with high resistance inter-posed, as before described. This current as explained inChapter VIII both acts mechanically as the faradic, andalso exerts a magnetic influence upon the atoms of thetissues, causing molecular disturbance by the attractive 98 PROSTATE GLAND AND ADNEXA. and repulsive power of unlike and like, so as to favortheir solubility and absorption, and their expulsion throughthe medium of discharges from the gland. It also exertsa strong germicidal Fig. XVI. Whatever causes the pathological condition of the pros-tate—whether it is the inhabiting of its mucosa or cellulartissue by latent gonococci, or bacteria adapted to thelocality of its special epithelial lining—it is certain thatdiffusion of medicinal agents by cataphoresis, and inter-stitial electrolysis within the gland, disturbs these germ?by rendering their habitat inimical to their existence. SEMINAL. VESICLES. 99 Just how this is accomplished it is somewhat difficult toexplain; but bacteriologists have demonstrated that thegonococci favor an alkaline medium, but whether the}^ aredestroyed by cataphoric diffusion of anions, as of acids,oxygen, etc., or die from lack of a suitable medium, whenthe gland is aroused to activity, or the dynamic effectespecially of the sinusoidal, or -directly as the result ofelectrolysis as induced by cataphoresis, I cannot state;but I do know, as a fact demonstrated b
