I observed that the sea shore, still moist after the water retires in
consequence of the reflux, is endowed with the power of conveying
Galvanism to very great distances. I made several experiments on this
subject with M. Bastide, physician of Calais, who acknowledged that he
had received very strong shocks, the effects of which were sensible
the day following.
