State. Nor did the Animals give any Signs of Un~ 
eafinefs, while they were eledrifying: A little Wea- 
rinefs, and a better Appetite, were the only Effeds 
we ever perceived. 
As to the Facility of applying this Method, 'tis 
well known that the eledrical Virtue is eafily tranf- 
mitted a good way off by Chains, &c . ; and one may 
eafily imagine, that an eafy Chair, or even a Bed, fuf- 
pended or fupported in a proper manner, will put the 
mod infirm Perfons in a Situation to be very com- 
modioufly eledrified. But as there is no Ncceffity 
to eledrify them adually, it will become eafierflili; 
for nothing more will be requifite, than to place 
near them a Basket of old Iron render’d electrical. 
The commoneft Degree of Sagacity will fuffice to 
put this Method in Practice, whenever it is found to 
be ufeful. 
I fhall obferve further, that, when I electrify an Ani- 
mal, I render his Perfpiration more copious 5 and this 
Effect is univerfal thro’ every Part of it. When I 
only place it near an electrified Body, itperfpires as 
much. But is its whole Body equally fenfible of this 
Effect? I mean, what exhales in confequcnce of the 
Electricity, does it iffue from every Part of his Surface? 
I believe it does not ; and that for thefe Reafons. 
If it be the electrical Matter of the Skin that drives 
out the Matter of Perfpiration, by rufhing towards 
the electrified Body, it is natural to think, that this Efi 
feet takes place only in the Part out of which the elec 
trical Matter iffues : Thus the Perfpiration, which is 
electrically forced out, Ought to iffue from thofe Parrs 
only, which are the mod directly applied toward the 
electrical Body. Let us confirm this by Experiments.
