DEATH FROM CHL0RoFoRM-In the Cincinnati
Commercial of Monday last we find the following :
Peter Thoma a German stone-cutter, 20 years of
age residing in st. Louis, but for the last four
weeks living with his sister in one of the apart
ments of Ray and Boss's brewery, at the corner of
Sycamore and Abigail street, died yesterday fore
noon, under the following circumstances Since
his arrival in this city he has been under the medi
cal care of Dr. W. J. krause, for a disease Of
the eye, who decided that to prevent blindness it
was necessary to perform the operation of creating
an artificial pupil, by removing membrane which
was growing over the eye. For this purpose Dr..
krause and two other physicians, at 10 o'clock
yesterday morning, placed the patient under the
influence of chloroform. It is said that in this
operation it is necessary that the patient should
be totally Influenced SO that there may be no IN
voluntary motion of the organ.
Upon bringing the operating instrument near the
eye, it was found to quiver, and the chloroform
was again applied. At the close of the operation
which took but a moment, the patient was found
to be dying Despite of every effort made by the
DOCTORS he expired. DR.. Carey, the Coroner, Wis.,
tied the friends of the deceased, and found them
satisfied with the explanations Of the physicians
he also called on DIR. krause and learned that the
usual precautions had been taken. He concluded
that it was one Of these cases which medical
science cannot anticipate, and that the, deceased
died secaadifls drfenl, it unnecessary to hold
an inquest. 1t is said that there are persons to
whom choloroform is rank poison, and the deceased
was one of them.
