CHLOROFORM AND MILITARY SURGERY.—Dr. Hall's
remarkable allusion to the effects of chloroform in sur-
gical operations, in his instructions to the medical officers
engaged in the Crimea expedition, has called forth a re-
ply from Professor Syme, whose testimony on the use of
this extraordinary agent carries with it the extensive ex-
perience and the highest professional ability to judge of
the uses and results of its administration.—Scotsman.
