A non-surgical treatise on diseases of the prostate gland and adnexa . medicine and the bulb is pressed, then relaxed, itpartially fills; when the bulb is again pressed the medi-cine is forced out in jets through the small openings, asillustrated. No. IX is used to apply the remedies to theprostatic urethra and neck of the bladder; but as thegreatest trouble exists upon the floor of the urethra andwithin the ejaculatory and prostatic ducts, instrument is used, as shown by reference to Fig. X. In the two conditions illustrated by plates VI. and through the rectum and prostatic urethra, asshown by figures X. and XI., is especially indicated. In thelatter the medicine is introduced through the curved, cup-shaped opening at the lower extremity, and, by means ofa rubber-tipped syringe it is forced out through the open-ings at the other end, as indicated. The electric currentand the medicine being limited to that part immediatelyopposite the prostate are transmitted to the gland by cata-pnoric action. SUBACUTE OR CHRONIC PROSTATITIS 55. Fig. X. By passing the electrode further up the rectum thesame cataphoric action is exerted upon the vesicles whenthey are involved. , The instruments are so constructed as to meet all indi-cations for applying medicine directly to localized ulcers,or granulated patches, along the urethral canal, and effectcataphoresis, interstitial electrolysis, vasomotor contrac-tion, etc. It must be remembered, however, that the properties ofthe currents and remedies as used are limited to their ex-posed metal ends and only within an area of a few inches 5S PROSTATE GLAND AND ADNEXA. therefrom and dependent upon the strength of the metal part (Fig. VIII) is in apposition to the floorof the prostatic urethra, the full influence of the current,for whatever purpose used, is concentrated upon that por-tion of the gland tunneled hy the ejaculatory and prostaticducts, and the parts that are always affected in this dis-ease.
