OPERATION UNDER THE INFLUENCE OP ETHER.—
An unusually large meeting of the medical staff; and noble-
men and gentlemen, interested in the important improve-
ment in the operative department of surgery, produced by
the introduction of ether as a means of abrogating pain,
took place in the operative theatre of the Westminster
Hospital yesterday. The operator on this occasion, as upon
the former successful trial of ether, was Mr. Hale Thomson,
senior surgeon to the institution, and the apparatus employed
was that of Mr. Robinson, on whom the duty of administer-
ing the vapour devolved. The patient was a young woman,
apparently about 30 years of age, suffering from a painful
tumour connected with the trunk of the body. In about
three minutes insensibility was produced, and the operator,
with a few strokes of his knife, succeeded in severing the
tumour from an unusually broad connexion with the skin.
The operation was rapidly and dexterously performed, and
although the patient uttered some expressions of impatience
at the commencement, yet it was some minutes before she
was sufficiently recovered from her dream to answer the
questions addressed to her. In her unprepared state the
operation would have been one of intense suffering. Among
the visitors present were Prince Napoleon Bonaparte, Lord
thstingingsh readtiffoyrieniggne to foreigners.
