I generally employ for thisattachment a zinc plate, two feet by five feet in size, supportedupon insulated tripod legs. Any other metallic electrode, inany other situation upon the patients person, may be substi-tuted for the metallic foot-plate. * The wave-current may be intensified and varied by em-ploying an external insulated capacity, as suggested above,.

When it is desired to intensify or localize the current byemploying an external insulated capacity (see Fig. 35) itmay be accomplished in the following ways: (1) A metalsheet is suspended upon an insulated stand or by insulationmaterial, as a cord, from the point of the standard electrode, towhich a rheophore passes from an electrode placed upon thepatient, who has previously been connected by an electrode andrheophore to the machine by the usual method of administeringthe wave-current. (2) By making use of a chair having glasscastors or other insulation (as telegraph insulators) beneath * The above, including cuts, was taken, with Dr. Mortons consent, from thereport of Transactions of the American Elect
