He made use of Pulvermacher's chain bat- tery of sixty links, using vinegar as the exciting agent. The applica- tions were usually made every throe or four days, and for a minute or two each time ; but th...ey might be repeated daily without disadvantage. Great relief followed the first application, and a cure was in general effected. (Am. J. Of Ned. Sci. , Jan. 1860, p. 114. ) 3. Neuralgic and Rheumatic Affections. Neuralgia. Electricity has been found curative in many cases of this affection, operating, it would seem, sometimes directly by the benumb- ing influence of its excessive power, sometimes revulsively. These two methods require different applications of the electric influence. If the object be to operate revulsively, the plan of Duchenne may be followed of confining the action to the skin (see page 517); if to benumb the nerve, a moistened extremity of one conductor should be applied over the nervous trunk as far up as may be, the other over one or more of its branches in which the pain may be felt.
