A non-surgical treatise on diseases of the prostate gland and adnexa . his tube is so distributed alongthe urethral canal that it has become so exhausted beforereaching the prostate that its effect upon the gland orvesical neck is quite limited. To obviate this waste and to TREATMENT OB PROSTATIC DISEASES. 2U concentrate the current upon the part affected^ I have con-structed an instrument (Fig. XXX.) that is insulated withvulcanized rubber throughout its course, except at the cordattachment and the other extremity. The current, obeyingthe well known physical law of passing where there is theleast resistance, can be concentrated at any point desiredby the operator. The instrument is also so constructed thatmedicinal applications can be made at the same time thecurrent is used, either to effect cataphoresis or as a simplemedicinal application to the diseased area. Hence, bymeans of this electrode, the current as well as the medicinecan be concentrated directly upon the gland. Fig. the application of the instrument directly tothe prostate:. Fig. XXX. The method of application I have found most effectualtowards allaying local irritation and inflammation of theprostate by means of this current, is that of forced reson-ance of extreme high tension. This is accomplished by usinga single insulated conducting cord attached to A, (), then connected to the urethral electrode andwith the spring clip on the top coil of the solenoid (S.).Should it be desirous to increase the amperage or volume ofthe current in its application to the gland, then the solenoidshould be interposed together with the resonator. This isaccomplished by lowering the spring clip (S.) to the mid- 214 TREATMENT OF PROSTATIC DISEASES.
