THZ FACTS ABOUT THE EFFECTS Or CHLOROFORM AND ETHER, Evil Deoils Are \ot Easy to fin With the Aid of These Dross—Some Pop¬ ular Disinformation on lhj Subject Corrected. A curious case of robbery under chloroform which was decided in Lou¬ don not long ago was followed will) great interest by writers on medical jurisprudence. Hitherto many such writers have expressed great doubt about these cases, for the process is by no means so easy of use as people think. Very Extravagant ideas prevail among the public as to tlie power of anesthetics, owing perhaps to the li¬ cense employed by novelists when they describe "fancy” cases iu their books. One reads, for instance, of a man m a railway carriage waving a hand¬ kerchief before the face of a fellow traveler and producing instantaneous unconsciousness. This is absolutely impossible. Another imaginative writ¬ er recently described a murdcr carried mit by pushing a towel saturated with a powerful anaesthetic under the bed¬ room door of iiis sleeping victim. This a iso is nonsense. In another tale the more feasible plan ,s ean 'ied out of entering the sleeping i au's chamber, pouring the anaesthetic « •! the bed. the murderer standing by and watching his victim die. But even ,liis i8 stretching the truth rather se V( rely. The true facts about chloroform and .^fCompanlon anaesthetic, ether, arc Hirst, with-regard to administering 1: -0 drug during sleep, doctors have made very exhaustive experiments, for it would be of great advantage to a pa tieut on whom an operation lias to be Performed to chloroform him while asleep and save him the horror which 10 many people have of tlie inhalation. and they sum up the results, showing t very rarely can chloroform be ad m nisiered to a sleeping person without owakening him. Grown people are, w;t:i the rarest exception, awakened by ti e irritating fumes. If a man were ^l mil nud if his nose were naturally in • V, tr :tive to unpleasant odors, and es l’y ' unnk. wily if it he might were be under possible tlie influence make : to itim unconscious while asleep. But not every doctor could do it.

If the loom measures, say, I'd feet square and is l) feet high, it would probably lake a gallon of eh;Ol' l ot lit spilled on tin* floor to lilake a man un conscious. All the chinks and crannies would have to be stopped up first. moreover, and the operat. r liimself would have to be poison proof or he also would succumb.
