The Static Cage. This diagram shows the authors apparatus with greatcompleteness. The patient stands upon the metallic foot-plate filled with warmwater and connected by a piece of brass chain to the rod passing to the pole ofthe machine. The opposite pole is grounded and the same chain is hooked tothe cage. The cage is suspended upon the frame and is raised and lowered bythe stout cord passing through thepully. When not in use the cage stands uponthe top of my static machine. The patient may sit upon a stool if desired. Thecage may be adjusted to any height.

The cage is a general-electrization method, and applies tothe usual range of cases in which static electricity is of recog-nized benefit, particularly functional nervous
