ACTION OF INTERRUPTED AND CONTINUOUS CURRENTS. 215 



tudinally the nerves of man, that have been made from the time 

 of Galvaui to our own day ; because these details are to be found 

 in special treatises, and because I have not space even for an 

 analysis of them. Moreover, I have wished to place before my 

 readers, as far as possible, the results of my own researches, and 

 only to cite those of others when I wished to be conlirmed by 

 them, or to refute them as being erroneous and in opposition to 

 my own. I have already brought together, in a bibliographic 

 note, and in chronological order, the principal experimental and 

 physiological researches upon the action of currents traversing the 

 nerves, \\hich have been made from the time of Galvani to that of 

 Matteucci (from 1791 to 1844). 



It still remains for me to mention, in chronological order, the 

 most important subsequent works which have treated of the same 

 subject, and especially those which have dealt with therapeutic 

 questions : ' —
