The electro-therapeutic guide, or, A thousand questions asked and answered . that the ball on the top is in the center, between the sliding rods Pand Po. It can be used on either side. Experiment has shown that thepositive point of entrance to the patient has a sedative soothing effect, whilethe negative point of exit has a stimulant irritant effect. In this respect itclosely resembles galvanism, and those who are in doubt as to static polareffects may note a difference in the static vibration, although it has not beenthe experience of the writer to note any marked polar difference in theother modifications of static electrification, but to be safe, he follows the usual THK EryKCTRO-THERAPEUTIC GUIDE 123 rule of polar modalities. The technique of the writers improved mode ofvibration treatment is shown in Eig. 2. If you have one part where youwish sedation, and another where you desire stimulation, you can get bothat once, or by placing one electrode on some indifferent part, you can geteither effect desired, at any other part, by arranging the connections as. ELECTRODE IN5ULATED PLATFORH The Interrupted Continuous Current (Vibration). Fig. 2. shown in Fig. 2, or the exact reverse. For instance, if you wish to stimu-late the spine or kidneys: Pull out the positive sliding rod P. Attachsame by cord A, to foot plate F. (indifferent). Attach wet sponge padelectrode H, to back on bare skin. Connect by cord B, to the insulatedterminal D, close spark gap at G, by pushing in the sliding rod Po, whichis connected by C, to ground plate J. The I^eyden jars, one or both, maybe either off or on. The effect is more pronounced if both jars are on, andstill more marked if the outer covers of the jars are connected, by closingthe secondary induced current from S to So, by means of the switch effect can also be modified by taking out the ground circuit C, andcompleting the circuit through the machine. The size of the jars, and thesize, number and speed of the plates, all chang
