These sameelectrodes can be used (with care) as intra-uterine, with great success. The soluble electrode for the ear is a valuable adjunct to the armamen-torium ot the electro-therapeutist, as you can touch the tympanum withmany of the saline solutions with ease, when you cannot -touch it by anyother electrode, and one that is adept in the use of the currents for diseasewill readily see the value of these electrodes.

No. 1 is the adapter, and is used to connect both the water and electricsupply to the electrodes which screw onto it. No. 2 for the ear, and No. 3 for the rectum, are used for giving treat-ment for all aural and bowel trouble. No. 4 is for vaginal treatment, electric douche, and is a good treatmentfor leucorrhoea or whites, and inflammation of the vaginal walls and cervix,invaluable in all cases of ulceratiou and infectious diseases of the femaleorgan.
