DEATit AFTER Tits .: TSE OF THE ETII.:ER ANTIDOTE
TO PAIN,--On Friday week, At the Essex :and Colchester
ll",l,ital, the operation ~I lit hotomy was p 3rformed by Mr.
R. S. 'Nunn, upon Thomas Herbert; labourer, while under
the influence of the vapour of ether, in the presence of Mr.
Branshy Cooper, the well-known surgeon, and almost the
entire medical staff' r-f the town and neighbourhood. In the
absence of pain, and its skilful execution, the operation was
completely successful ; and the patient appeared to be doing
well for twenty-four hours afterwards, when unfavourable
symptoms presented themselves, and death. took place on
Sunday evening, apparently from exhaustima. The circum-
stance has created considerable sensation in. the town, and
popular opinion eagerly attaches the blame to the new, and,
