The pole-board of a finished electrical apparatus should have an arrangement for combining the galvanic and faradic currents, so that a simultaneous application of the two can be made. Proposed not long since by De Watteville, this form of electrical application has already been largely employed. When the galvanic current is flowing through the electrode wire, the faradic is turned on, thus bringing into action, on a part, the effects of both. To impart a higher tonicity to the organic muscular fiber, to increase absorption of exudates, are the chief purposes to be subserved by this method. To any one familiar with the physiological action of fara-dism, it will not seem strange that this process can be really useful only when the electrode can be brought into contact with the affected tissue. The application of galvano-faradism has proved of remarkable utility in cases of pelvic inflammation, uterine diseases (subinvolution), and consequent displacements, and excessive proliferation of the connective tissue of the pelvis. The combined currents act more efficiently in these maladies than does galvanism alone.
