Technic.—l employ a saturated solution of zincsulphate on the anode with a platinum, aluminumor block tin electrode, around which a pledget of cot-ton is wound. The cathode pad of a constant cur-rent is placed on an indifferent point. The cottonis saturated with a ten per cent solution of cocaineand applied to the lesion, using five to ten m. a. forfive minutes. The cotton is then squeezed dry,dipped into the zinc solution and applied to the current applied varies with the size of the lesion—from three to ten m. a.—and is continued untilevery portion is turned white. I cite two cases:. Fig. 111.—Neiswangers Cataphoric Electrode. 1. Mr. S., aged 65, has epithelioma on centralmargin of lower lid; which has eaten out a V-shaped CHKONIC ULCER. 377 piece one-eighth of an inch deep. One applicationto the everted lid made a complete cure. 2. K., aged 60. Referred by Dr. E. J. an epithelioma involving entire canthus of lefteye. One application was sufficient; the Doctor re-porting that the case was entirely well in twoweeks. Concerning the efficiency of the 500 candlepowerlamp in the treatment of epithelioma, Rogers writes:If the necrotic process has reached an inaccessiblepoint, or, if it has reached a point so near the eyethat cauterization would destroy the eyeball, the caseis inoperable unless the globe is first enucleated. Allthose cases in which the destruction of tissue is notextreme, or in which the effected bony and glandularstructure may be surgically removed, may be suc-cessfully treated wi
