to place the pa-tient about five inches further from the surface of the tube than thegreatest distance which the tube can force a spark across the spark-gap.Therefore, the distance for a low tube will be from 6 to 8 inches; for amedium tube, from 8 to 10 inches; and for a high tube, from 10 to 20inches. If there is no evidence of reaction, the distance should be reducedwith every other treatment for one-half of an inch, until the tube is ata distance of about five inches. 124 Anthony Matijaca Duration of treatment.—The duration of the treatment depends uponthe generator employed. With an induction coil or a transformer, threeto ten minutes; with a static machine, five to twelve minutes. The bestprocedure is to begin the treatment with the exposures not exceedingfive minutes duration, and if, after the end of two weeks treatment, nosymptoms develop, the length of exposure may be gradually increasedup to twelve minutes, the maximum exposure recommended, except insome very rare cases.

With the usual low voltage, treatments may be given dailyfor one or two weeks, then every other day, without danger of produc-ing any marked degree of dermatitis. If the rays produce any local inflammation, second treatment shouldnot be administered to the same area until the reaction has subsided.
