This was a trial experiment to see if the valves in the apparatus
worked properly. The dog was allowed to revive, as several
interruptions occurred.

Half an ounce of chloroform given in an apparatus specially
devised for the purpose. By this means air was allowed to
mix freely with the chloroform vapour in a bottle connected
with the inhaler. Breathing became very rapid after the
lapse of 14 minutes (62 to the minute), after 23m. it became
very shallow and remained so for half an hour. The cornea
remained insensitive for fully an hour and-a-half; the dog
gradually recovered, and was removed from the table at 10m.

Half an ounce of chloroform given as in the above case. After
20m. the tube, connected with the inhaler, for the exit of the
expired air, was removed, as the valves were acting imperfectly
and the aperture of the tube was closed with a cork, to which a
new valve was attached. Breathing became very slow and
shallow towards death. This observation was not considered
trustworthy on account of the interruptions during the experi
-
ment.

3 drs. of chloroform given in this case. The respiration
became slow and laboured at 3h. 15m. and remained so for 45
minutes; but as there were no indications of the dog dying at
this time, an extra drachm of chloroform was poured into the
bottle at 4h. 3m.
