Either remove the patients shoes and place the stocking feetupon a reservoir electrode filled, for comfort, with warm water,or, if this is too much trouble with high-laced shoes, leave themon and insulate the nails in the heels by putting three or fourfolded newspapers between the shoes and the metal foot-plate. If shoes are worn without such protection the interruptedcurrent will pass up the nails and through the soles of theshoes, in a succession of sparks, and the tolerance of the feetwould not permit the current to be made strong enough toaffect the rest of the body. Next prepare the platform rod the same as for simple positive. Potential Alternation. A chain from rod B to positive pole D. Patientsfeet are protected by several large electrical journals placed over the brass is the ball electrode placed upon the standard and grounded by chain to wire Epassing to gas fixture. The opposite grounding chain F connects the negativepole with the head-breeze electrode G, grounding both. G is about three feetdistant from the patients head. The dotted lines between C and the terminus ofthe shepherds crook indicate the spark gap interrupting the current when the ma-chine is in rapid action. The usual length of this spark gap is from four to sixinches. 180A STATIC METHODS—PRODUCTION OF SPECIAL EFFECTS. l8l electrification, and ground the negative pole.
