DISEASES OF THE UTERUS. G-9 covered elastic electrode is best. The swelling method (gradually in-creasing and diminishing alternately) should be employed, with a dosagevarying from 25 to 60 milliamperes, according to indications. To thisthe faradic current may also be added. For a septic condition of the uterus the positive pole is the mostsatisfactory, and if the sepsis is accompanied by but slight portions ofretained decidual membrane it is quite unnecessary to resort to the risksand loss of blood attending the use of the curette. The drainage thatfollows a galvanic application will usually be amply sufficient to carryoff these shreds when detached by the action set up by the current, but.

CATARRHAL METRITIS ; METRO-SALPINGO-OOPHORITIS. An endometritis in parous women is more apt to be associated withinterstitial infiltration of the parenchyma ; at least, in the stages in whichit comes under the observation of the specialist. Extension upward intothe tubes and to the ovaries is common also ; so common, in fact, thatthe resulting salpingitis and oophoritis are now too often considered asthe only diseases existing, in many cases in which they are yet secondaryto the metritis. Large numbers of such cases have come under thewriters observation in that stage in which the too-ready knife of thecoeliotomist has removed relatively inoffensive
