 |" lt Is inadmissibie 10 proceed with surgical operation. in dangerous cases, without inc use of chloroforn, because safety and immunity fron pain secured. IL should not be used where there is

Professor Simpson has pub- lshed his opinion that hundred lives have been preserved by the of coroforn, where one has been lost by it He further says that the mortality where chlorOform Is used s much less than in similar cases where t is dispensed with"
 Ths committee obstetrics also reported deci- desly in favor of the of chloroforIn, and the "woBderfui adyantages' obsteirc practice has gained through the introduction of anasthetieal agents.
