Faradism is applied to the muscles
of the limbs and trunk, say five or
six hours nftor supposed death, thoro
earl be no contractile response, it
may be eartified with certainty that

prevent the manifestation of electric
muscular contractility• Hero there
is no possibility of mistake, as there
certainly was when the old tests
