After about ten minutes reduce the current to zero,switch the automatic interrupter into circuit and again increasethe dose until comfortable pulsations are felt. Avoid increas-ing the current strength so greatly as to produce any discom-fort. Repeat daily or every second day. Static.—Seat the patient upon the static platform connectedwith the positive pole. Study the methods described in thechapter upon producing special therapeutic effects and proceedto administer a thorough nutritional treatment with counter-irritation over the entire spine. At the close of each sitting apply a few positive sparks tothe perineum by means of the spark electrode protected by ashield of surrounding glass. • These three methods
