An international system of electro-therapeutics : for students, general practitioners, and specialists . tly from thebody, draw it from the external brass ball, the disruption takes place thenbetween the external end of the conductor held in the patients hand andthe ball of the electrode in the operators hand. At the moment of theoccurrence of the spark the patient receives the rapidly-alternating cur-rent through the electrode held in his hand. The current might bebroken at any part of the circuit, and the patient as part of the circuitfeeling the effects. Dr. Morton has constructed an electrode for applica-tion of the franklinic interrui)ted current. It breaks the circuit at somedistance from the patients body ; the end next the body may be a moist STATIC ELECTRICITY AND MAGNETISM. A-109 sponge or other terminal, such as is used in applying the faradic are two brass balls which constitute the circuit-breaker; thesecan be separated and brought together by a movement of the operatorsfinger. The spark passes between them and can be regulated by thedistance between the ^
