It is applicable inanaemia, chlorosis, rickets, rheumatism, gout, sciatica, etc. The bath itself should be made of porcelain or glazed ware. Thewater should have a temperature of 90°-98° F. (32° to 37° C). Twometal electrodes, that must always be kept clean and bright, are placed atthe head and foot of the bath. These plates are attached to the batteryby binding screws. The larger electrode is placed at the head of the 54 ELECTRO-THEE APEUTICS. bath, and is usually 18x12 inches (15x30 cm.); the smaller electrode is11x9 (28x23 cm.). In order to localize the current a movable paddleconnected to the foot-piece is often employed. A wooden rest preventsthe back and shouldei-s of the patient touching the head-plate.

The resistance in the bath depends upon itslength, the depth to which it is filled, and the temperature of the water.As the current which traverses the water does not affect the patient, itfollows that only so much water should be used as is required to cover thepatient comfortably. Xo salt should be added to the water, as the latterthereby becomes a better conductor. THE HYDEO-ELECTEIC BATH. 55 The duration of the bath should be ten minutes daily for the firstweek, but after that it should be given on alternate days. The choice ofcurrent will depend upon the condition present. Thus, in the early stagesof general neuritis, in acute neuralgia, and in acute sciatica, the directcurrent is indicated. In gout, rheumatism, and arthritic conditions, thegalvanic current is preferable. The induction-coil bath and the sinusoidalcurrents are useful where gene
