If there ishyperaesthesia and tenderness to pressure associated with thechronic metritis or endometritis, which exist in severer cases,the indication for mild positive galvanism is absolute. If there is no observable indication for positive at the timeof treatment it is a wise precaution (and my invariable rule) totest the uterine tolerance with this polarity first in all menstruation in the history of these cases is also adirect indication for the continued use of X^ao. positive currentuntil this sympton is abated.
