Though we have, in former papers (1915, 1916, 1920), given details of the apparatus we used in producing sterilisation of milk by the electric current, it will be a convenience to readers to repeat some facts in regard to the arrangements of the electrodes and electrical circuit. The quantity of current used depends on the size of the apparatus, arid the voltage is normally between 3000 and 4000. The alternating current is carried by the milk and is applied by means of three copper electrodes, ⅛th of an inch thick, each enclosed in a glass electrode chamber.
