Unless the galvano-cauterj^ ecraseur or snare is to form a part ofthe operators armamentarium and the lighting system used be in anyway connected with his source of electrical supply, a smull storagebattery, such as the instrument shown in the cut, suffices.

The obsolete dip or bichromate-of-potash batteries presented manyunpleasant features which are done away with by the storage battery.The danger of allowing the elements to accidentally remain in the fluid, the motion of the foot or hand to bring elements and fluid together, arealone features sufficiently disagr
