Text Appearing Before Image:
th wateror medicated solutions (Fig. 117). They are to be had 370 DISEASES OF THE RECTUM AND ANUS in various sizes. Allingham uses hollow, vulcanized tubesof different sizes with a shield to prevent them from slippinginto the bowel. For the purpose of dilating the stricture, Mr.Cripps has made bougies of twelve sizes with a slight uniformtaper from base to apex, their length increasing from four anda half inches (11.4 centimeters) in No. 1 to five and a half inches(13.9 centimeters) in No. 12. . The diameter at the base in-creases from one-fourth of an inch (6.3 millimeters) to one andthree-eighth inches (3.5 centimeters). It is rarely necessary to have the bougie retained for morethan a few moments; if, however, it is desired to keep thedilator in position for some time, it can be attached to, andheld in place by means of, a T-bandage. Sponge and laminariatents, inserted within the stricture and left in situ, will grad-ually dilate the constriction and prove serviceable in somecases.

Fig. n5.—Whiteheads Rectal Dilator. Electrolysis.—Personally, the author has had but little ex-perience with this method of treatment; but, from observa-tions he has made of its use by others in the treatment ofgrowths, tumors, and cicatrices in other portions of the body,he believes that very little good can be accomplished with italone. He is of the opinion that nearly, if not all, surgeonswill concur in this belief, notwithstanding the fact that text-books on electricity assert that many cures can be secured byits proper application. Whitmore, Earle, and Newman have allreported cases of stricture successfully treated by electrolysis. The treatment of stricture of the rectum by electrolysis issimilar to that used for stricture of the urethra, except that astronger current (15 milliamperes) may be used in the boweland be applied more frequently. The current is applied bymeans of electrodes, of various shapes and sizes, introducedinto the rectum and sometimes within the constricti
