. Electricity in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat . Until recently, I applied the eustachian electrodeto the mouth of the tube and a sponge electrode tothe ear.

In the use of the high-frequency current, Iapply a binaural electrode to each pad and connectthe electrodes by a single cord to the positive primeconductor of the high-frequency coil, and securecontraction of the tensor tympani muscle by placinga rheotome in the electric circuit—applying two tofour hundred interruptions per minute—and treat-ing the patient daily for ten minutes. Of these two currents, I cannot say which is themore effective, yet the fact remains that one mayproduce beneficial results after the other has failed. Case 1. Rev. S. J.
