52 PASSIVE MOVEMENTS
haemorrhage, metritis, endometritis, etc., the uterus must be grasped
between the fingers and the thumb, and quick and Hght frictions
made at the same time as the vibrations. This mode of treatment
dispenses with the internal manipulation in the above-named
disorders.
In vibrations for affections of the anus, such as htemorrhoids
and prolapsus, the last phalanx of one or more fingers is used.
In prolapsus ani, the tips of the fingers are placed round the
protrudmg mass before the vibrations begin.
In treatment of piles it is not sufficient to apply local treat-
ment ;
but shaking of the liver, petrissage of the abdomen, etc.,
must also be resorted to.
Vibrations over Ulcers.
It is necessary to cover the ulcer with a piece of linen or
lint moistened with some antiseptic solution, and over this again
some gutta-percha, in order to prevent the heat of the hand from
passing to the ulcer. The palm of the hand is afterwards
applied, and the vibrations made. These have to be combined
with petrissage round the ulcer, in order that the parts surround-
ing it may be kept healthy, and stimulated to greater activity.
Vibrations for Furuncles and Abscesses.
The tips of the fingers and thumb are placed at the periphery
of the affected tissues, and during vibrations are approximated to
each other, passing gradually towards the middle. The effect . of
this is to drive the degenerated blood serum to the centre, and
pointing takes place quicker. When the abscess has been opened,
this manipulation removes the pus from the abscess cavity more
completely and painlessly than by the ordinary method of
pressure.
