A system of electrotherapeutics as taught by the International correspondence schools, Scranton, . nce of the sizes between Newmans electrodesand usual sounds as sold by instrument-makers. The dia-grams here presented are made from measurements of instru-ments in actual use. 56 ELECTRICITY IN §19 Fig. 25 (a) and (6) represents the ordinary steel sounds,which are conical at the end, and the number is expressed bythe size of the largest part of the stem, making a real differenceof from six to eight numbers in different parts of the instru-ment. Fig. 25 (c) and (d) represents Newmans electrodes, which have their fullsize at the bulb end,as numbered. It willbe seen at a glancethat in the steelsounds a No. 38 is,at its conical end,only a No. 29, thistapering end makinga difference of fourand nine numbers,respectively. There-fore, the No. 32—French scale—New-mans electrode is aslarge at its end as the No. 46 steel sound. Hence, the diver-sity of opinion referred to is, in a great measure, explainedby these diagrams, especially in relation to the result of treat-ment by Pro. 25 MODUS OPERANDI 84. The object is to produce the solvent action of thealkalis and the disintegrating effects of diffused art of applying electrolysis successfully consists in: (1)using the correct strength of the electric current; (2) applyingthe respective poles in the right place; (3) selecting the size,shape, and material of the electrode; (4) regulating the durationand intervals of seances; (5) avoiding any hemorrhage by adjust-ing the current and careful manipulations. 85. Electrolysis applied with a mild current will causeabsorption only — a galvanic chemical absorption—while astrong current will burn, cauterize, or even destroy tissues. §19 GENITO-URINARY DISEASES 57 Therefore, the operator must know what effect he wishes toproduce, and graduate the strength of his current management of the operation must be such that everypossible mis
