Lectures on nervous diseases from the standpoint of cerebral and spinal localization, and the later methods employed in the diagnosis and treatment of these affections . -are carefully-watchedand taken care of Again, it cannot be transported about the room tosuit the convenience of the patient or the physician during his examina-tion so well as some other cells adapted for a cabinet batterj. It is alsodifficult in many cases to repair the Avire connections of a fixed battery-(running, as tiiey often do, through partitions and plastered walls toreach the kej-board) when they become inefficient from any cause. Ipersonally prefer the Leclanche cell to any other ^xt devised for a cabinetbattery. The engraving on page G44 represents the perfected cabinet soarranged as to be detached from the cells and screwed to the wall. The 644 LECTURES ON NERVOUS Fig. 163.—The Perfectbd {Ant/iors model.) THE CAEE OF A BATTERY. 045 cells may be placed in an}^ convenient place, as closet or cellar. It isthe same in all of its attachments as the perfected cabinet just described. Respecting the selection of the cheaper forms of batteries for gen-eral medical use, it is important that accuracy of workmanship shall nothave been sacrificed in order to lessen the cost. The construction ofthe primarj-^ and secondary coils of a faradaic machine and the adapta-bility of the interrupter to slow and rapid breaks in the circuit shouldbe looked into before a decision is reached. Poor coils and a bad inter-rupter render a iaradaic machine almost worthless. A d7ii>ciqD con-taining mercury, in which the zinc element is placed when the battery isnot in use, is a desirable feature in a faradaic machine. Do not buy a magneto-electric machine wiiose motor power isfurnished by a crank to be turned by the hand. It is practically uselessfor medica
