Douche.—Moisten a felt-covered, flat electrode, 7X 10, in aone per cent, hot water bicarbonate of soda solution and applyit upon the abdomen with the patient in the dorsal position onthe operating table. Connect this with the positive galvanicpole. Prepare about three quarts of any preferred alkaline andantiseptic solution in the irrigating jar, placed at a sufificientheight to administer an ordinary vaginal douche. Attach theend of the rubber tube to the vaginal electrode and connectthe electrode with the negative galvanic pole. Have the water. Fig. 127. Electrode for vaginal hydro-electric applications. hot.
