The lower line corresponds with the kathodic half. 7>, Closure con- traction, descending current. The upper line corresponds with the kathodic half of the muscle. fully as possible, and stretched in Bering's double myograph, the make excitation—which previously appeared in approximately equal proportions with either direction of current—will, when one end of the muscle is crushed by forceps, be altogether abolished or considerably weakened, while the effect of the closing excitation, if current is reversed so that the kathode falls on the uninjured end of the muscle, remains unaltered. The break excitation seldom comes about even after long-protracted passage of current, if the anode is on the injured side (26) (Fig. 88).
