DANGERS OF ANESTHESLA.

The Richmond and Louisville Medical Jour-
nal for June contains paper of some inte
rest on the relative dangers of anasthesia by
chloroform and ether, from statistics of
2O9, 1893 cases. The desired information was
mainly obtained by personally visiting the
principal hospitals of the world, supplemented
by correspondence with spots not visited, as
well as by information from other sources,
such as reports of the Surgeon General of
the United States Army, private re-
cords, etc. Waving remarks in detail,
and unable to give the table in full of
the returns of chloroform administrations
and deaths, we find the totals of the former
to be 127,O78, and of the latter forty-three.
The ratio of mortality stands one to 1928.
The proportions in the use of sulphuric ether
as an apesthetic are very different. Thus of
2,S15 cases reported to the writer in the
Journal, there were but four cases of death,
the particulars of which are given. The ratio
of mortality is one to 23,214, and taking that
as above from chloroform, there remains
mortality about eight and half times greater
than by ether. From the imperfect statistics
of the effects of mixtures of chloroform and
ether, we learn that the ratio of danger is, as
might be expected, between the other two,
the proportions being one death in 1888 cases
of chloric-ether administration, or twice as
safe as cbloroform, and about four times more
dangerous than ether.
The nitrous oxide, contrary to the first i'm
pressions entertained on the subject, and the
strong adverse opinion of DR.. Richardson,
would seem to be the safest of all anesthetics.
The members of dental association claim to
have an@sthetized seventy-five thousand pa
tients without any deaths. With regard to
the bichloride of methylens, we want the
requisite statistics

1T is about time for people to learn not to
point firearms at each other ''for fun" Among
the numerous instances of serious results from
this facetious proceeding is one just reported,
in which the gun contained nothing but powder
and wadding. The wadding, however, entered
a mans thigh three or tour inches, and inflicted
a severe wound.

Call FER II Christian Convention
for East Tennessee.

Tho advisability of holding "a con-
UontioH Of Christian Workers in East
Tennessee has been widely discussed,
and 1t is generally agreed that the
times demand it. The destitution OF
some portions of our field and the
forms Of error that are rising up In 9TH
ers, call for concerted action on the
part OF Christs followers. There is
power in united effort, and greater
safety and efficiency in the counseling
together of many. Now, if at any
time the watchmen upon the walls Of
Zion should see eye to eye.
IL is believed, also, that such gath
ering would, with the Divine blessing,
greatly promote Christian sympathy
and fellowship among us, and thus
tend powerfully to bring down the
mighty influences of the Holy Spirit
upon our churches and people.
Therefore representing, as we believe
the wishes of the greater portion of the
ministry and churches of East Tennes-
see--we, the undersigned, do herereby
call Christian Convention, to meet
in Rogersville, Tenn, on the 23d OF
August, 1870, at o'clock p. NJ, for
mutual consultation, and to discuss
the annexed programme. And we do
cordially invite and earnestly urge q
general attendance of the ministers
and leading laymen of all evangelical
churches in East Tennessee, without
distinction as to denomination.

please signify such intention to one of
the undersigned, that, arrangements
may be uade, for their
