Abstract
We notice with regret the announcement of the death, on July 27 last, of Dr. A. J. Harries. Dr. Harries, who was born in 1856 and received his medical education in London and Brussels, was well known for his work on electro-therapeutics and kindred subjects. Among a number of medical works which he published was “A Manual of Electro Therapeutics,” issued in 1890; he was also the author of papers on the dangers and uses of electricity, including one contributed to the Leeds meeting of the British Association in 1890 in which it was pointed out that current strength, as well as voltage, is an important factor in estimating the danger to life from accidental contacts with “live” wires and structures.
