An ordinary faradic battery can be utilized inthis way by connecting the cords from the adapter in place of thosefrom the cell. For Charging Storage Batteries.—The Vetter current-adapter fur-nishes a handy and clean method by which storage batteries can be economically recharged, really at no expense whatever if the chargingis done at a time when the lamp would ordinarily be in use, as the over-flow is sufficient for the purpose. Every practitioner who has had any-thing to do with the uncleanly and troublesome blue-stone cells willunderstand what a relief this affords. To recharge storage batteries a 50-candle-power lamp, giving 1| A-298 BLETER. amperes of current, would be best suited. When the current is in usein series from posts 1 and 2, the lamp in the adapter acts as resistance tothe flow, allowing only a limited quantity of the current to pass in thatcircuit. For Galvanic Current.—To obtain the galvanic current directlyfrom the in
