It is also proAided (1) withan attachment for interrupting the galvanic current; (2) a wire rheostat,for interposing resistance into the circuit; (3) a pole-changing attach-ment ; and (4) a milliampere-meter for measuring the current-flow duringtreatment. By means of a milliampere-meter and the wire rheostat, theresistance afforded by the patient at the time of the sitting may be readilymeasured. The apparatus also has a complete faradaic attachment; thislatter being provided with fast and slow contact-breakers, as well as a 41 642 LECTURES ON NERVOUS Fig. ]G2—The Perfecteu Ofpicf Cabinet li.\TiEKY.
