lumbar region. One electrode was
placed on the head and the other on
the back an intermittent current of
a little more than six volts was turned
on. In forty-five seconds the dog was
unconscious. He could be handled
without the least danger of awaken
ing him. No operation was performed.
Of course the Inconsistencies con-

are kept in place. When they are
removed the dog almost regained con-
