or.—The electric source forrunning the motor should be separate from the electric sourceused for causing anesthesia, and both sources should be furnishedby storage batteries of large capacity. Electricians will tell you that the alternating current will runthe motor more regularly than any other current. Dont payany attention to the electrician: if you followed his advice youwould kill your patient in the circuit, with a motor running on analternating current.* Do not use ordinary wet batteries for your electric source: thecliemical decomposition goes on too rapidly, and the stability ofthe current is impaired. Do not use the direct city current for running the motor: wehave tried it and discarded its use in our work. * For the last few years, we have been insisting on the danger of usingany other electric currents than those indicated by us. Presented at the Societe clinique de medecine mentale, and publishedin the Bulletin de la Societe clinique de medecine mentale, November,1908.

INDUCTION COIL SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTEDACCORDING TO OUR INDICATIONS FORPURPOSES OF RESUSCITATION OF SUB-JECTS IN A CONDITION OF APPARENTDEATH CAUSED BY CHLOROFORM,MORPHINE, ELECTROCUTION,ETC.* For purposes of resuscitation we consider the current of lowtension and frequent interruption superior to all other currents.But for practical purposes in cases of accident where this currentcannot be had, we use an induction current supplied by a coil oflarge size especially constructed for the purpose of resuscitatinghuman beings. It is an ordinary induction coil, the wire of whichis 6/10 mm. in diameter. We do not know the exact number oflayers used, but the whole coi
