Spray sufficient 4 per cent,cocaine solution upon the mucous surfaces to be treated toproduce moderate anaesthesia. Apply a felt or sponge covered, flat electrode, about 3X4,to the back of the neck, and connect it with the negative gal-vanic pole. Moisten it thoroughly in the usual hot solutionof soda bicarbonate. To the positive pole attach an insulatinghandle tipped with one of the largest sizes of short copper orzinc bulbs. Copper is generally employed. Freshly brighten the surface with fine emery cloth previousto use on every occasion, even when the electrode is new andbrightly polished. In the treatment of the nasal mucousmembrane insert the tip to the posterior nares of one side andcautiously increase the constant galvanic current through the 984 ELECTRICAL TREATMENT OF THE Fig. 414.
