    This treatise is respectfully inscribed to those Members of the Medical Profession who wish to avail themselves in their practice of a principle of nature, which occupies a cen- tral position, both in regard to organized and unorganized matter,—which has already accomplished something for medical science, but which is still undeveloped in its most important relations to physiology. No value is claimed for these pages beyond their connection with present experience. They are intended simply to facilitate the application of elec- tricity to disease in the existing state of our knowledge, and, if it may be, to aid others, especially American practitioners, in advancing a high department of physiological science. The instruments here described, and which these notes are intended to accompany, are those prepared by Mr. Daniel Davis, Jr., of this city, who is well known to the medical profession and the public as a scientific manufacturer.
