bably no more, to attend the cessions. What had Up-

FATAL APPLICATION OF CHLOROFORM.
A poor fellow named Henry Hollingworth, a
factory operative from Newton Moor, near Hyde, has
fallen • victim, at the Manchester Royal Infirmary, to the
use of chloroform, administered to nullify the pain conse-
quent upon a serious operation. There does not appear to
have been any blame attaching to the medical men present
(moat of whom are very eminent in their profusion),
though their interest in the operation seems to have made
them less watchful of the effects of the thug upon the pa-
tient. An inquest was held on view of the body by Mr.
Herford, coroner for the borough, when the following evi-
dence was given :
Mt. Join W. Baker, house surgeon at the Royal
Infirmary, said the deceased was admitted as the
16th instant oa account of • malignant tumour on the
right thigh, to remove which an operation was per-
tain:lied, as it was looked upon as • cancerous tumour,
though enveloped in much doubt, as those tumours often
are. He was in • bad state of health when admitted, and
everything wan done to improve his health previous to the
operation. A coasultation, as I understn,d, had been held
previous to his admission, and it had they been determined
that the operation should be performed, of course with the
consent of the patient. The consultation was of all the
medical men of the infirmary. The deceased the day be-
fore the operation said he was ready for it, but wished to
have chloroform. Almost every patient takes it. I said he
should have it if he wished it, and that he would feel no
pain,and that I would do all I could to support his strength.
I did not give him any caution. We have given chlo-
roform frequently, and never had a fatal case before. At
elevea o'clock on Friday, the 24th inst., the operation took
place. There were present Mr. Jordan, u the operator; Mr.
Breuer, as his assistant to the operation, Mr. Wilson, Dr.
Renaud, and Dr. Wilkinson (all members of the honorary
medical staff of the infirmary), and wyself. Mr. Frederick
Heath, a qualified surgeon, administered the chloroform.
The man was very much excited, struggled, and talked
fast. The chloroform was administered slowly, and every
precaution was taken to prevent any danger, and the
medical men remarked two or three times how very
long it was in taking efeet. He at last became insen-
sible In about seven miaow" at least. Mr. Jordan com-
menced this operation by an incision into the skin
covering the Minim. I was assisting the surgeon
when Mr. Heath directed my attention to the patient's
hoe. This was about five minutes after the ope-
ration had commenced. I then observed congestion about
the fain, but there was no stertorous breathing. His
pupils appeared almost to have ceased to act. His breath-
ing was become exceedingly slow, and he seemed to be
shaking fast. I directed the attention of the operator and
other medical men to these symptoms. The operation was
then suspended, and means resorted to for restoring anima-
tion, but the pupils bad ceased to act, and had become
fined almost immediately. Ile gave one strong gasp, and
then to all appearance was dead. In administering the
calosofseme successive doom were given until it took effect.
Burying enneisted of a drachm, taken at intervals in an
inhale,. Ountitatioudiffer with regard to the effect pro-
duced by ehleroform, but we use every precaution ti pre-
vent injury; and I am satisfied that the surgeons did their
duty In the administration of the chloroform and the ope-

Mr. Jordan was examined, and stated, in corroboration
of Mr. Baker's evidence, that more time elapsed than usual
before insensibility was produced, and then it was not com-
plete, for after the incision was made, the man, more than
once, said a cat was scratching him. Chloroform was gene-
rally administered in cases of operation, unless there were
circumstances which, in the opinion of the surgeons, Pen-
deed it undesirable. Mr. Heath was a competent person
to adrainster chloroform. The postmortem examination
showed that asphyxia, caused by chloroform, produced the
death. There was congestion both of the brain and lungs.
Verdict—. Died from the effects of chloroform."
It is, we understand, the determination of the medical
staff, in all cases requiring the use of this deadly though
valuable agent, to have one person to adminster it, and
another to scrutinise the effects upon the pativnts, in order
to avoid a secood fatality of the kind.
