G-23 2. The employment—wherever possible, or when it is not contra-indicated—of high intensities, but always measured by the true uterine suscep-tibility. From a clinical stand-point, by anatomical and symptomatic resultsmost constant, rapid, and durable. The applications of the continuous current comprise galvano-cauter-ization and galvano-puncture, positive or negative. Each of these appli-cations has its field and its indications, which will be described; but theyall have this in common : the current is localized; its dissemination and. Fig. 1. loss is prevented, by which its action is assured and augmented. Byhigh intensities is meant above 50 milliaraperes, measured by a good gal-vanometer. These intensities render impracticable the interruption or re-versing of the current; but clinical observations demonstrate that theresults are more constant, rapid, and durable as the intensities are ele-vated. This treatment, supported by theoretical reasons which I needonly mention, and justified by clinical results which will occupy us aboveall, has justly merited the title of a method which we have given it. Wewill study, in succession, the apparatus required, the contra-indications,the method of operating, the operative and post-operative reactions, thelimits of intensities, the results, and the causes of non-success.
