It was exploited as a cure for 26 specific diseases of the widest pos- sible range, as well as for "all diseases that begin with fever-all inflammations -all catarrh-all contagious diseases- all the results of impure or poisoned...
...electrical conductivity of solutions is one of their most important properties from a practical and theoretical point of view. Some solutions, such as sugar solutions, are non-conductants of electricity, whereas most salt solutions conduct well and acid solutions the best of all and the conductivity is directly related to other properties of solutions so that accurate knowledge of conductivity is a matter of considerable scientific interest. Professor Jones is planning to make many measurements of this kind, but the improvement in the technique has made all existing standards of reference obsolete and it will first be necessary to compare...
