Then place receivingelectrode over the source of energy, blood or dis-eased organ of patient, and place the other elec-trode between the third and fourth dorsalspines of the patient or subject. Between thethird and fourth dorsal spines is the locationin the cord of the reflex center of abdominalblood vessels. Tn 30 seconds a specific area ofabdominal dullness will be elicited and per-sists during energy flow. Illustration of Dullness. (1) Carcinoma area of dullness just belowand merging into lower border of liver, leftside, vertical 4 cm; transverse 9 cm. (2) Syphilis area of dullness above navel on. Fig. 1. either side of median line, 6 cm. vertical; 5 (3) Tuberculosis, just below navel 3 and 5 cm. transverse. (4) Differentiation of congenital syphilisfrom acquired syphilis. Place receiving elec-trode over either closed eye of patient and theother electrode between the third and fourthdorsal spines (splanchnic center) of subject orpatient (in auto-examination). In congenitalsyphilis, the area peculiar to syphilis appears,but measures in its transverse diameter 10 lieu of 5 cm. This reaction not present inacquired syphilis in absence of ocular luetic les-ion. In congenital syphilis when energy is con-veyed from spine or liver of patient, there is. inaddition to the epigastric area of dullness, anarea measuring 10 cm. vertically and 12 , beginning midway between thenavel and symphysis pubis and extending to thelatter.
