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 found with exactness,a small electrode may be fastened over the spot (with moistened ab-sorbent cotton beneath it) and allowed to remain stationary during the. Fig. 60.—The Authors Diagnostic Key-board.—A, the rheophore which connects it withone of the binding-posts of a galvanic battery ; B, rheophores connecting its binding-postswith spring electrodes previously placed upon the body of the patient so as to influence thenerves or muscles to be tested; C, buttons and springs which make a circuit to the body ofthe patient when the knob on the spring is pressed downward so as to impinge upon thebutton. The number of rheophores which may be employed depends upon the necessitiesof the case; the cut shows an instrument capable of six. entire sitting. Whenever it becomes necessary to refer to the reactionsof that point, it can be called into action by touching the key connectedwith it by its individual rheophore. The cuts introduced show the ar-rangement of my device for this purpose. I have given a more com-plete description of the advantages of this method over others previousl}emploj^ed, in the Neiv York Medical Journal of May 9. 1885. Now,
