Maintain the action steadilyfor five minutes. Close the sitting by making a few successivestrong contractions through the parts by switching the slowvibrator into circuit. Repeat daily or every other day for a sufficient time. Galvanic.—Moisten a felt-covered, flat electrode, about 4X6,. Fig. 240. Fine felt or sponge covered electrode—assorted sizes with soft rubber insulating backs. in a one or two per cent, hot-water solution of soda-bicarbonate,connect it with the positive pole of the galvanic battery andplace it under the lumbar spine with the patient in the dorsalposition on the operating table. Lubricate an ordinary urethral electrode with glycerine andinsert it to the prostatic portion. Increase the constant gal-vanic current from zero to three or four mil. In five minutesreduce to zero, next finish the sitting by giving the patient athorough spinal treatment with static counter-irritation, or ifthe physician unfortunately does not possess this apparatus(which is an indispensable part of every complete electro-ther-apeutic equipment) pass a tonic galvanic current down thelength of the spine. Moisten two similiar felt-covered electrodes 4X4, place thepositive at the back of the neck and the negative on the sac-rum. Gradually increase the current from zero up t
