In 1848 the author first attempted to dissolve calculi in a solution of nitrate of potash, by placing them at the same time between the electrodes of a galvanic battery; an effect was produced on the uric acid at the negative pole, but no very decided result was obtained. The experiments were resumed during the last summer. The results with uric acid calculi may be thus arranged. The action was chiefly at the negative electrode.
