It may be usefully prophylactic beforelessened tissue resistance furnishes the nidus for definite dis-ease ; it may in some form palliate, and in other cases cure, agreat many states of sickness which are not toxic or febrile;and when no active part befalls it in acute stages it will domuch to shorten a tedious convalescence. In the surgical office it will light up a Crookes tube more. Authors Static Apparatus. Showing foot-plate on platform with chain to rodconnected with one prime conductor. Opposite prime conductor grounded. Ma-chine adjusted for simple electrification. Upon the top of the case is partly seenthe static cage which is lowered over the platform for use. THE THERAPEUTICS OF STATIC ELECTRICITY. 183 radiantly than any other present means of electrical ex-citation,and with the fluoroscope or photographic plate make the exami-nation of fractures, dislocations, and a variety of bone lesionsmore satisfactory and instantaneously than any other means. It will often relieve the nerve and muscular effects of trau-matism, allay local inflammations, subdue pain, restore the cir-culation to contused parts, quicken the reparative processes ofnature, increase mobility of stiffened muscles and joints, pro-vide a superb form of passive motion and massage, excite recu-perating contractions in muscles paral
