The first time the shock deprived him for some mo- 

 ments of the power of breathing. Musschenbroek repeated 

 his experiment, and says he felt a most terrible pain.

Says, that a shock gave him and his wife convulsions and 

 cpistaxis.

The skin was only affected where the hair was white, 

 being there the least perfect conductor. 

 Cavendish. Ph. tr. 1776. 



Says, that the sensible shock depends rather more on 

 the quantity of the electricity than on its force : a double 

 force with half the quantity, producing a shock rather less 

 powerful.

A machine capable of fusing 24 inches of wire, -i^ of an 

 inch in diameter, produced no effect on the pulse, nor on 

 the perspiration ; and did not appear to promote evaporation.

 mals. Roz. XL. 62, 241. 

 Volta. Gilb. XIV. 257. 



Says, that only a little more electricity is required to 

 produce an equal shock from a larger surface. A surface 

 16 times as large required an elevation of the electrometer 

 to one tenth of the number of degrees. But the degrees of 

 the electrometer cannot be an immediate measure of the 

 quantity of electricity, without having regard to its situa- 

 tion with respect to the tlectiified bodies. 

 On an insensibility of electricity. Gilb. XIV. 



423. 



A small charge of a large surface gives a less unpleasant 

 shock than a larger charge of a small one, and may per- 

 haps be fitter for medical purposes. The spark from a 

 long wire is sharper than from a large body. Robison.
