CHLOBOFOIIIII.—If, in experiments with chloro-
form ou dogs, rabbits, &0., poisoned on purpose, we
almost immediately find (as we do) that the most marked,
indeed only marked post-mortem appearance, is cardiac
syncope, that is, this gorging of the right cavity of the
heart with healthy blood, the lungs passive : if in post-
mortem examinations of patients in hospitals that have suc-
cumbed to ohloroform, we find the same thing, the statistical
inference appeared to Snow very clear, though it is an error,
that the deaths were from paralysis of the heart. So it is
considered in nearly all our standard books on surgery,
and electricity is still tried in the hospitals to the heart I
in many cam, without any good effect whatever, One is
very desirous that the true manner of applying elec-
tricity to the phrenic nerve and respiratory muscles in
deep anatsthesia with a magneto-eleotro current were better
known, ns in this form this agent is most effectual in re-
storing life; while, applied to the heart directly, as is
usual, it only extinguishes what life there is left in that
organ, and coagulates this blood in the right cavities, in
cases of apparent death from drowning, it is even more
valuable, but a " terra incognita " to our " Humane
Society." Reasoning, indeed, from a large experience of
ten or a dozen years, watching chloroform administration
in London hospitals; in more than ten thousand case?, he
author believes that the heart is never attacked by this
paralysis, which appears from a mere " post hoc" statisti-
cal inductian.—Dr 2t.fgeiso ott Glaprol'orin.
