I or- tunately this term is used somewhat loosely, sometimes , ^m^ employed in the sense now explained; sometimes to denote a change of electro-motive force that accompanies the altera- tion of irritability; and again to cover all the conditions implied in the experiment. It is a fact that during the passage of a constant current the natural nerve-current is affected, being increased or diminished according to the direction of the polar- izing current. There is, however, so much difference of opinion in regard to this subject that it is very doubtful whether it should be more than noticed in passing. But to return to electrotonus, which is both interesting and important, it has been found as a result of many experiments
