The electro-therapeutic guide, or, A thousand questions asked and answered . ove cut shows a phoric electrode for treatment of deep urethraltrouble and prostatic enlargement. It consists of a hard rubber catheter,perforated at the distal end for about two inches, with numerous smallholes. Inside this is placed a flexible twisted copper wire, around the tipof which is wrapped absorbent cotton, wet with a solution of the drug to beused phorically. The water acts as the conducting medium to convey thedrug to the membrane by phoresis. If it is iodide of potash, it is to be con-nected to the negative pole of the battery, and the effect produced by cata-phoresis. If you desire the local effect of the oxy-chloride of copper, fromthe wire, then attach to the positive pole, for the anaphoric effect. Theother pole of the battery can be attached to a self retaining sponge electrode,either the back electrode shown before, or to a band spring electrode, whichholds itself around the leg, as shown in the cut of the electrode below, orheld on the skin by the hand pad. x^^^^^S.
