Double two or three layers of flannelupon the patients head and adjust the crown at aheight of from 6 inches to 2 feet, depending onthe output of the machine. Any one can tell at oncGthat this is a stimulative Fig. 74.—Static Machine. 2. The Static Spark. This is too painful, gener-ally, when given on the thinner parts of the body. STATIC ELECTEICITY. 107 The spark often does much harm because it is givenwhen sedation should be administered. 3. The Morton Wave, when given from thenegative prime conductor, applied as stated before,only using a smaller electrode. The negative chargeinsures stimulation. I believe, Doctor, that your method of usingLeyden jars, connected to a large coil machine, af-fords the same opportunity of treating cases forpositive or sedative and negative or stimulativetreatment, but I have never had the opportunity oftrying it out on clinical cases.
