An international system of electro-therapeutics : for students, general practitioners, and specialists . rated. Differ-ence in Sizes between \s Electrodes and Sounds.—Another objection has been made, that in the reported cases the strict-ures have not been cured, because the calibre had not been enlarged toNo. 40 French, in some cases. The attention is called to the differenceof the authors electiodes and the usual instruments. The accompany-ing diagrams are made from measurement of instruments in actual use. M-28 NEWMAN. The first two figures (Nos. T and 8) represent the ordinary steel sounds,which are conical at the end, and the number is expressed by the size ofthe largest part of the stem, making a real difierence of from six toeight numbers in different parts of the instrument. The latter twofigures (Nos. 9 and 10) represent Newmans electrodes, which have theirfull size at its bulb-end, as numbered. It will be seen at a glance thatin the steel sounds a No. 38 is, at its conical end, only a No. 24 ; thistapering end making a difference of four and nine numbers, Fig. 10. Figs. 9 and 10.—Newmans Electkodes, the End having its Full Size, as Marked. Therefore, the No. 32 Trench Newmans electrode is, at its end, as largeas the No. 40 steel sound. Hence, the diversity of opinion above referredto is in a great measure explained by these diagrams, especially in relationto the treatment by electrolysis. What is understood by a cure of astricture, and why sometimes it is better to be satisfied with a calibreenlarged to electrode No. 28 or 25, has been stated before. Failures.—If the rules in the treatment, as just described, are care-fully carried out by the operator as well as by his patient, there ought tobe no failures, or at least %\iQy will be very rare. It is, however, an unde-niable fact that failures have been reported, even hy excellent medicalpractitioners. The cause of such failures, in most instances, could be STRICTURES; HYPERTROPH
