n euers IF dfaS oapt w L. DIE erFE consul
will appeal to President Zelaya and 9TH
ers in the matter of appointment of E
Calderon to succeed him as the repre-
sentative of Nicaragua at San Francisco
The change is said to be due to differ-
ence of opinion between Mr.. Merry and
Minister Rodriguez regarding the rights
of a consul to register ships and allow
vessels which trade with European OF
Asiatic ports to fly the flag of Nicaragua
when these boats do not touch at MICA
raguan ports. For reasons similar to
those which brought about the change

selected as Nicaragua's new consul-gen-
eral at New York.

Static Electricity Analysed.

Static or frictional electricity is the
form in which electricity WAS first brought
to the intelligent attention OF mankind.
Static electricity is used as tberapeu-

expense of servicca bic static machine and
perhaps still nlore 10 The fact that it has
not received TIE attention in our medical
colleges and Journals that the galvaHic and

does not produce any OF the chemical ef-

The difference between the static induced
current and the faradicScurT rs ttis
The former has fixed polarity and create

less painful and il Is the most powerful
tonic of the two.
OF the static machine over the faradic and
galvanic currents is that the patient has no
clothing to remove To lady jt II mat
ter OF no small moment that she is freed
from the necessity OF divestiRg herself OF
any garment worn, and that almost any
part of the body can be treated without ex-
pusure or annoyance
The patient is seated upon an insuat ed
platform connected with one pole or the
machine.
Upon the machine being put in motion
slight cracking sound is heard as the
current escapes, the patients hair begins
to rise, and In few moments a very
pleasing sensation is felt all through the
system.
The treatment produces no pain or shock.
The discharge OF tue electric sparks de-
composes the atmosphere, forming ozone,
which is readily recognized by it's odOr,
and which, inhaled by the patient during
treatment, contributes to the beneficial
results.
Static ELECTRICITY will increase the cir
