he secured aud bound to a mattress "a copper
wire being bound around both feet. The conduc-
tor of the negative pole was attached to this wire,
and the conductor Of the positive pole, through
sponge saturated with vinegar and salt, was applied
to the throat and the spine and body generalA
y with the full power Of the battery This produc-
ed instantaneous cessation of the spasms, and while
under the influence of electricity the patient will
llngy drank fluids without any horror of them |;
but If they were near him and the electric current
interrupted, all the priVous SYMPTOMS would recur.
The current was applied for half an hour at time,
with intervals of an hour and after II hours from It's
first application the patient suddenly coll lpsed and
his appearance changed from that of fury to that OF
a person seasick and about to vOmit PersPlratlon,
with free yomiting and Pnrsing- fono|ed' ana 'hen

of headache and great weakness. A week after
