A non-surgical treatise on diseases of the prostate gland and adnexa . Fig. XXX. The method of application I have found most effectualtowards allaying local irritation and inflammation of theprostate by means of this current, is that of forced reson-ance of extreme high tension. This is accomplished by usinga single insulated conducting cord attached to A, (), then connected to the urethral electrode andwith the spring clip on the top coil of the solenoid (S.).Should it be desirous to increase the amperage or volume ofthe current in its application to the gland, then the solenoidshould be interposed together with the resonator. This isaccomplished by lowering the spring clip (S.) to the mid- 214 TREATMENT OF PROSTATIC Fig. XXXI. THE TREATMENT OF STRICTURE. 215 die or lower coil of the solenoid. This last application ismore efficient in reducing or softening an indurated gland;then, too, for destro}ing large vegetative growths. But itshould not be used until local irritation and inflammationshould be first allayed, as before mentioned, when it canbe instituted with impunity. The application by free resonance is effected by attachingone of the cords to binding post (E.), then to the electrodein application to the patient, with another cord passingfrom the other binding post (E.) and grounded; or indirect application to the patients body with very large andvery wet electrode. Should this not be very carefully ob-served the patient may be burned very severely. The current is also used in application to the prostatethrough the rectum, just as the other currents as heretoforedescribed. In further consideration of the utility of the high fre-quency current, I shall give briefly the results of my ex-perien
