The 68 PRACTICAL ELECTRO-THERAPEUTICS AND X-RAY THERAPY high-frequency discharges are carried to the distal end A, wherethey enter the tissues of the patient as in the plain variety. Onaccount of the delicate structure of the insulated vacuum electrodes,. Fig. 35.—Insulated glass vacuum electrodes. 1, vaginal,; 2, rectal. they are frequently broken at B when using heavy currents. Whenthese electrodes are new, they should be used for some time withvery weak currents until the glass becomes annealed and capableof carrying stronger currents. The body condenser electrode is a glass vacuum electrode, witha pole or disk sealed in the wall, as shown in Fig. 36. This elec- ^
