Every physician must understand that the cautery batteryis an entirely distinct apparatus from all medical forms. Itembodies the principles of the ordinary galvanic battery, butis constructed in a special manner for the sole purpose ofdeveloping amperage, almost without voltage, so that the cur-rent will achieve the great object of supplying Fig. 13. Cautery battery. An induction coil battery cannot be used for cautery ordinary galvanic battery is not employed for cauterywork, and a cautery battery is never employed for galvanic andfaradic applications with electrodes in the ordinary manner. By means of large elements connected in a manner some-what different from the series connection of medical ealvanic CAUTERY APPARATUS. 93 cells, a small number of primary cells serves the purpose of acautery battery. Secondary storage cells are employed forthe same purpose when (rarely) it is convenient to do so, orby means of special controllers the street current is utiHzed toheat the cautery burners. Physicians often inquire which is the best method to em-ploy, or which is the best kind of a battery for cautery work.
