Cerebral Anaemia.—-I should advise you to begin the use of veryweak galvanic currents after an attack of embolism. I believe that cur-rents of this kind sent transversely through the head from the temples,and occasionally in the antero-median plane, assist in absorbing the col-lateral oedema and cause a diminution of the collateral h3pera3mia. Iprefer to use the cathode on the side of the embolic obstruction whentransverse currents are employed. In my opinion, it ten
