The battery introduced by Eugleman a few yearsago was a decided advance towards the perfection ofthe faradic apparatus. It is fashioned after one ofFrench origin, described in de Wattevilles work, andhas three secondary coils. The coarse wire is composedof No. 16 wire* ( mm.) about 75 yards (66 metres)long; the intermediate coil is composed of No. 21 wire() about 225 yards (198 metres) long; andthe fine wire coil is of No. 31 wire ( mm.) about * Brown & Sharpes American guage. 62 —. Fig. 13.—Englemans Battery. — 63 — 660 yards (600 metres) long.* Although to beregarded, as by far, superior to any other apparatusof the kind made in this country, it has provedinadequate for many purposes in gynaecologicalwork, in that the finest coil is not sufficiently sedativefor some very sensitive conditions which we suggested improvement referred to above is asfollows, viz.: that the coarse wire coil and inter-mediate be retained as they now exist, and in placeof the finest coil, which is made of No. 32 wire, about660 yards long, a coil is to be wound with 800 yardsof No. 32 or No. 34 wire tapped at 500 yards, makingthree lengths upon one spool, viz., one of 300 yards,another of 500 yards, and the total length 800yards. In addition, it was proposed to have anotherspool or coil U230n which is wound 1,500 yards of wire, which is tapped at 1,000 yards, thus givingupon the same spool three coils of different lengthsof wi
