Second Note on the Electrical Resistance of the Human Body

Abstract

THE fact that the note on this subject inserted in NATURE, June 14, p. 151, was copied in extenso by the Electrical Review, by the New York Electrical World, and I believe by some other papers, as well as the fragmentary way in which these observations must of necessity be obtained, encourages me to ask for a little further space. This is the more pardonable as the writer in the former paper, in two editorial articles which he founds on my observations, shows ignorance and misconception of certain physiological facts involved in them—a misconception the correction of which by myself he does not think fit to publish.
