Regulate the dosage to about 15 mil., pass itdownward for a moment and then make gradual reversals ofpolarity two or three times at intervals of a minute each, andclose the sitting with the descending current. 2. Local Stimulation with the galvanic battery is as follows : Seat the patient upon the forward edge of a high stool. Fill a suitable bowl nearly full with a saturated solution of rock. Fig. 252.

Moisten a sponge-coveredhand electrode with a one or two per cent, solution of soda
