DRUGS FORCED INTO SYSTEM
Electric Current Now Being Extern
slvely Used in England for Treat
ment of Skin, Diseases

Forcing drugs into the system
along the path of an electric current
is a novel form OF treatment for skin
diseases. which is now being extern
sively used at st. Bartholomew hos
pital says the London Daily Mail.
First introduced by Professor Le-
due of Paris in 1908. 1t has only re-
Gently emerged from its experimental
stages. The treatment consists OF
passing an electric current through
the diseased part, one of the cleo
trodes being covered with pad
soaked in solution containing a drug
or chemical. The electricity breaks
up the solution into IONS which
penetrate the tissue cells along with
the current.
The disease for which ionic medical
ton has proved most successful so
far, according to DR.. Lewis Jones. Is
rodent ulcer-treated with zinc ions.
Here pad of lint soaked in one per
cent. solution of zinc sulphate Is
placed over the ulcer. A zinc electrode
padded with lint, also soaked In the
solution and connected with the posi-
tive pole OF an ordinary continuous
current battery, is then applied over
this. The current Is applied for ten
or fifteen minutes at time.
AS the process is sometimes painful
the part may be first cocainised by
ionisation, one per cent solution Of
cocaine hydrochloride being applied
and the current passed for few min

What Forgiveness Means.

We may say of Christ as simply as
the Psalmist said Of God. Evil shall
not dwell with thee. Yet it is said
OF him of whom it stands written as
the very characteristic of his life.
This Man receiveth sinners And
that, when we come to the point, is
what forgiveness means. 1t means the
receiving of sinners by Que who Il
lnexorabie to sin.
