Insert into the urethra a steel sound as large as the canalwill take without undue dilatation, have it connected with thenegative pole of the galvanic battery, and after it is in contactwith the entire mucous membrane increase the constant gal-vanic current from zero to 2, 3 or 4 mil. according to thesensitiveness of the part. The duration of the application must be governed by thesensitiveness. If the patient complains reduce the current tozero and withdraw the sound, whether this occurs after a frac-tion of a minute or after two or three minutes. Tolerancewill rapidly develop after the first or second application as thecongested irritable state of the mucous membrane benefits bythe alkalin
