When the breeze is directly mducedj the insulated stool is connectedwith one pole of the machine, and the electrode with the other pole 672 LECTURES ON NERVOrS DISEASES. If the electrode be a metal one, the electricity Is drawn rapidly fromthe patient at the point which is nearest to the electrode, and a sensationresembling that of a breeze is experienced at the spot where tlieelectricity escapes. Single or multiple points may be employed on theelectrode. ^ In either of these methods, when the electrode is composed of tvood,the sensation is modified, to a certain extent, by the poor conductivityof the wooden point. Most patients compare the effect of such an appli-cation to a shower of sand concentrated upon the point of withdrawalof the charge. When this method is employed about the eye, the wooden ball orwooden point is usually preferable to one of metal.
