Both responses are in the same direction as that of the accidental current, from intact to wounded spot, ingoing through the intact skin. These are evidently not negative variations of any injury current. We may provisionally infer from the absence of obvious injury current that the subcutaneous connective tissue is of very inert character, and that an unpolarisable electrode.
