These cabinets are constructed at this time of differ-ent forms and sizes according to the needs of the individualpractitioner. Incandescent baths may be arranged either for a sittingor a recumbent position of the patient. The principle is thesame in each instance. As a rule, they are arranged for thesitting position, although one of the Kellogg cabinets isarranged for the recumbent position.
