To the other pole is connected a large sur-face-electrode (well wetted) which may be placed on any part of the needle is then inserted into the growth and the circuit closed, andelectrolysis begins immediately to take place around it. The needle attached to the negative pole, of course attracts the hydrogencorpuscles and alkaline bases, repelling the oxygen and acids, which areattracted toward the positive pole. There is always an escape during theoperation of a portion of the products around the needle, especially of the 86 THE KIvECTRO-THERAPEUTIC GUIDE hydrogen gas, yet there is always a portion of the products retained in thetissues so acted upon, which becomes as foreign matter.
