The static mode is spoken of as franklinism, and the application asfranklinization, on insulation. The vibratory or radiant mode is known as photo-therapy, or lighttreatment, and is applied to any form of light, but the term is most oftengiven to the use of the Roentgen or X-ray, which is known as the X-raytreatment, or roentgenism, and the application is called roentgenization, orX-raying or radiation. The rotating or magnetic mode is known as magnetism, and the appli-cation is called In the erection of our system of practical electro-therapeutics, we wishto have a bridge to carry us over the hard places. The key=stone of thisbridge is most important to fully know and understand, and is the law ofOhm, which enters into the consideration of every therapeutic foundation of our bridge is based on three things or units, which we useas measures of pressure, strength and resistance. These are named in honorof the labor and study of three eminent physicists, Volta, Ampere, Ohm. VOIyTAGK is the push, pressure, head or electro-motive force whichdrives. AMPERAGE is the rate of flow, or current strength. OHMS represent the opposition encountered, or the resistance offeredto the flow of current. For the sake of convenience we say that the l^oltis the unit of electro-motive force or drive; Ampoe is the unit of current strength; Ohm is the unit of resistance. Dr. George Ohm formulated a
