The instrument consists of a cylinder,having a length of two and five-eighthsinches and a diameter of one and three-fourths inch, revolving in a substantialframe to which the handle is attached andconnection with the battery effected. Itwas designed as a substitute for the ma-nipulator in process previously described,and without equalling the delicacy of thehuman hand presents a cheap and conve-nient means for approximating a like re-sult. It differs from other machines of may be given to it; also a weight of aboutsix ounces, which enables it to apply itselfclosely to a part and to maintain its ownposition. It was designed as an improve-ment upon the plane plate and the fiatsponge, compared with which it is stablein position, of an agreeable temperature,adapted to the curves of th
