. Hand-Buch der Elektro-Therapeutik . hat Licht und Magnetismus werden durch Bewegung von Ätherwellen produziert. Es wird angenommen, dass Licht durch Schwingungen erzeugt wird, undElektrizität und Magnetismus durch Drehbewegung. Ein magnetisches Feld von Kraftlinien ist der Raum, der jeden Magneten oder ElektromagDcet umgibt, in dem seine magnetische Kraft erkannt werden kann. Faraday studierte diese Form der Energie und fand heraus, dass diese Linien der magnetischen Kraft in gekrümmten Linien von der Oberfläche des Generators an beiden Polen nach außen fliegen und, ob die Krümmung groß oder klein, schließlich wieder in den Generator am anderen Ende.

. Hand-book of electro-therapeutics . hat light and magnetism are produced by motion of etherwaves. It is supposed that light is produced by oscillations, andelectricity and magnetism by rotary motion. A magnetic field of lines of force is the space surroundingany magnet or electro-magDcet in which its magnetic force canbe detected. Faraday studied this form of energy and found thatthese lines of magnetic force fly outward in curved lines fromthe surface of the generator at either pole and, whether the curvebe large or small, eventually re-enter the generator at the otherend. The theorjr now advanced by Bachelet is that, by treating apatient by means of the magnetic wave-current, the electricpotential of the human body is raised and the magnetism finallyis transformed into vital energy, and so utilized in the vitalprocesses. This seems to have been proved conclusively byBaehelets experiments on the lower animals, the current energybeing measured by a special form of galvanometer.

(&) That, by placing a living body in a magnetic field andpermeating it with magnetic lines of force to the maximum ofexposure, the electric potential was raised as high as thirty-threeper cent. (c) That the energy thus imparted to the living body didnot depart but was transformed into vital energy and used inthe vital processes. {d) That, according to the average established by a seriesof experiments, the electric potential of the living bod}, twenty-four hours after its storage with magnetism, showed an augmen-tation of twenty-five per cent, above normal. (e) That the augmentation, forty-eight hours after storage, remained on the average at nineteen per cent. {f) That, on the average, seventy-two hours elapsed beforethe store
