C. C. GUTHRIE, S.B., M.D.(From the Hull Physiological Laboratory, University of Chicago.)CHICAGO.I have been using the capillary electrometer, figured below, for some time, and it has proved so satisfactory that I consider it worthy of a brief description. I ordinarily work with the capillary tube horizontal and the description will be of it in that position.Figure 1 shows the appearance of the capillary and cup when viewed from above.
