The amount that will bedriven in depends on the strength of current and the lengthof time it runs, the usual treatment lasting about twentyminutes. Heat your solution. It gives comfort to the patient,and it forms a better conductor for the current. Thesedrugs are put up in the form of soloids especially preparedfor this purpose, but it is quite as convenient to have themin stock solutions of about twenty per cent, which you candilute to the required one per cent, as required.

CHAPTER IIIMEDICAL ELECTRICITY Faradism Induction. — The second form of electricity used inmedicine is produced by induction. If you introduce a magnet into a coil of wire forming aclosed circuit, an electric current is produced running in onedirection. Withdraw it, and its direction is reversed. Keepit still, and no current will flow. If the coil is made to movein relation to a stationary magnet, alternating currents arealso produced. This briefly is the principle upon which thedynamo works. Wind a coil of wire around a b

Noticealso how the tendon of the subscapularis is stretched around the head in the oppositedirection in external rotation. This stretching occurs not in the tendons themselves,which are very short, but in the muscles which, by their construction, take up theslack of the capsule of the joint. In fact, the capsule of the joint is really made upof the tendons and muscular heUies of these short rotators. It can easily l)e imaginedhow a simultaneous spasm of these muscles would lock the joint, for in the normalmotion one must relax as the otlier contracts. Notice also the cross-section of thecoracobrachialis and the necessity for the subcoracoid bursa which lies betweenit and the subscapularis. Since the two muscles work at right angles to one another
