. The treatment of disease by electric currents : a hand-book of plain instructions for the general practitioner . Fig. 334, Fine felt or sponge covered electrode—assorted sizes with soft rubber insulating backs, galvanic battery, and apply it over the stomach. Prepare asimilar electrode, connected with the negative pole, and placeit under the cervical spine. Gradually increase the constantgalvanic current from zero until it produces a sensation ofcomfortable warmth through the tissues. In about fifteenminutes reduce to zero. A similar application may be made with the rapidly inter-rupted high-tension induction coil current with the same elec-trode under the dorsal spine, and a smaller sponge-coveredelectrode, about three inches in diameter, over the Fig. 335. Fine felt or sponge covered electrode—assorted sizes with soft rubbel insulating backs. TREATMENT OF DIGESTIVE DISORDERS. 6S9 Adjust an 800 yard No. 32 secondary coil current up to com-fortable tolerance. Continue for about fifteen minutes andreduce to zero. Repeat three or four times a week. Static frictional sparks over the abdomen and spine, togetherwith general electrification, will be found useful to aid appro-priate medical and dietetic measures. Cholera Morbus.—A patient suffering from this acuteaffection may often be given remarkable relief in one of twoways. I have personally employed static sparks on the abdo-men with almost instant relief to the colic in the few caseswhich have occurred in my ofifice practice. These patients aremore usually seen at home, and when it is considered worthwhile to do so an induction coil apparatus can be employed. Moisten a felt or sponge covered, flat electrode, connect it
