There is an inhibition of the vaso-motor nervoussystem as shown by a distinct lowering of arterial pressure and theresults of combustion are shown by loss of weight. These general effects can however be obtained in greater or lessdegree by extending over the body generally the local treatment asadministered by the hand electrodes. INDEX.
