Fig. 26 — Electrical apparatus of extremecompactness, delivering almost all num-bers of electrical modalities, including thenew R-rays (X-ray, High Frequency,Cautery, Ozone, Vibration, Suction, etc.) From The Electrical Experimenter 62 Anthony Matijaca CHAPTER IX HYDRO-ELECTRO THERAPY 5INGE water moistening the skin increases the electrical conduc-tivity, and both hot and cold applications to the skin diminish theelectro-sensibility, by applying simultaneously or successively thetwo powerful therapeutic agents—water and electricity—doubleaid can be rendered in a large number of pathological conditions. The hydro-electric treatments consist of the application of galvanic,faradic, galvano-faradic and sinusoidal currents, in the form of a wholebath, local bath and electric douche.

Fig. 27—Caution: If a current from wall plates is employed, the tub must not be connected with filling or draining pipes, and great care should be exercised to avoid accidents. Whole Bath The whole electric bath is administered with a patient in a wooden,porcelain or enameled iron tub, half filled with water at a temperatureof from 85 to 95 degrees Fahr. It is a general body treatment and amost efficacious method of applying electricity when tonic effects aredesired; and may be either mono-polar, or bi-polar. Electro-Medicine, Electro-Surgery and Radiology 63 In a mono-polar bath, the active electrode connected to one pole ofthe generator is immersed in water, and the indifferent electrode (whichis a long bar of iron covered with chamois leather) held in both handsof the patient, is connected to the other pole. In a bi-polar bath, both electrodes are immersed in water (one ateach end of the tub), but the patients body does not come in contactwith either. The water, being a conductor
