NITROUS OXYDE GAS.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,-The appeal to the generosity of
the people Of Great Britain for substan-
tial donations in aid of the efforts to allie
viate the sufferings caused by the war
which appeared in your issue ofthis morn
ing encourages me to lay before the public
the following proposition.
The wounded soldiers are the greatest
sufferers, and all possible efforts ought to
be made to reduce the sum of pain to
which, by surgical operations and dres-
ssings, they are necessarily subjected.
C~hloroform is largely used for this pur-
pose, but its application meets with diff
culties 10 many cases. Thus, the mere
, 1870-09-20

it cannot be applied at all IN other cases
it produces sickness, which continues not
rarely for hours after its application. anu
compromises the welfare OF the patient.
It's action is of such a kind that, practi-
caIIy, it is only applied for long and Sc
we're operations, rarely for slight ones,
and never in that most painful and oft
repeated process, the dressing of wounds.
All the advantages of chl6roform, to
the exclusion of the disadvantages Just
mentioned, are possessed by nitrous oxyde
gas. It has no smell, produces quickly,
IN four or five full Inspirations, a perfect
anpsthesia, in which all operations can
be performed without causing pain, and
hardly a minute after the cessation of it's
inhalation its influence on the patient has
entirely disappeared. It never produces
choking or sickness, and there has never
been a case of death under it's influence.
The marvellous effect of this gas was
originally discovered by Sir Humphrey
Davy, but was not appreciated by the
scientific world, owing to the Wanton rldi-
cuIe cast upon it by the shortsightedness
of Gay-Lussac, and of several chymists
following in his wake. It is the indubit-
able and great merit of British dentists
to have again discovered the painkilling
effect Of nitrous oxyde;'an 10 haye made
its use for the relief of suffering a matter
Of daily and easy practice.
A bulky gas could not be transported
with the necessary facility, and therefore
its use remained limited to Institutions.
But industry seized the processes and the
gas was brought into a compressed form.
This compression is now carried to iuidi-
f%cation. Nitrous oXyde is sold as a fluid
in little iron TASKS, of which each, hardly
bigger than a wine bottle without the
neck, evolves 100 gallons of gas. The
production of this duid nitrous oxyde is
now a branch of industry carried on by
the aid Of steam power, erected specially
and exclusively for this purpose, and yet
the supply is hardly equal to the demand.
Now, from my experience in war sur
gerry and IN the application of an@sthetics,
and from the inquiries which I have insti-
tuted and the experiments which [ have
made relating to this itrous oxyde, [ have
come to the conviction that this agent
would be most useful in the military hos
pitfalls of the Continent, not only in primary
operations but also in the frequent painful
dressings. There is less difficulty in its
administration than in that of chloroform,
and all surgeons would easily and quickly
be able to appreciate and use it.
l, therefore, propose hat a portion of
the funds which | have no doubt your
generous appeal will cause to come forth
abundantIy should be applied to the pur-
chase of, saw, 1000 bottles of this main

ion the expedition had TO return 10 Bata-
bano, to proceed to grapple for the ca
BILE, at the point where the fault was sup
posed to exist, and from there boats had
to under-run the cable that is, to lift it
by means of a wheel in a small boat, till
they got to the point where the injury
existed. The injured parts where then
cut eout, and new pieces spllced in.
These repairs sometimes took them three
days to accomplish. These delays were
exceedingly vexatious 10 Sir Charles
Bright, who was extremely anxious to
have the work got, through as expedite
ously as possible. The expedition at
length arrived at ST. Jago on the 9th ult.
The authorities and the inhabitants of the
place were wild with JOY at their arrival,
and there commenced a series of %ftstiYi-
ties, balls, picuics, dinners, serenadeS,
illumiuatious, fire works, &c. &c, which
continued to the time of the departure
of the "Darlen,' and is likely to continue
to Saturday evening next. Sir Charles
Bright; Captain Dowell, of the "Dacia >
Captain Barrett, of the Suffolk and Cap
tain Winter, of the "Vestal." were pre-
scented with the freedom of the city, by
the civic authoritles-a distinction, they
say that has not been bestowed on any
one since the time of the Conquest. The
EXPEDITION is waiting now TO perfect some
repairs to the machinery of the "DaCia,"
which have been considered necessary, in
consequence Of the tremendous depth OF
water three hundred to four hundred
fathoms-between here and st. JagO.
The fleet is expected off Holland Bay on
Sunday night or Monday morning-that
is, supposing that all works we'll, and no
damage accur TO the cable.
DOMINICA.
Sir Benjamin Pines grand Conredera-
ton Scheme has been passed by the Lee
gisIative Assembly of Dominica, although
not without some opposition. The three
principal Colonies included in the pro-
jected confederation have given in their
adhesion. They are Antigua, St. Kits
and Dominica. 1t is said hat Nevis has
refused its sanction but that Tortola has
asSented.
Berbice Trinidad, Barbados, Grenada,
St. Vincent, st. Lucia, and st, Kits are

is concerned.-Ibjd.

the parties haze not the slightest interest in
the result. The uncertainty of the %intelli-
gehce received has given point to the dis
,%ussions, each party being at liberty to
interpret the kilograms in a way to suit
his own views"
1t is quite consoling to find that the
people ofSt Thomas are not singular in
their partnership, and those of the land
of Mud and Marabuntas are only less alb
surdly enthusiastic. The Des V9ux
Commission commenced its sittings on
26th ulto. and stand adjourned to 6th IN
slant. AS far as the proceedings have
gone it is impossible to judge from them
what will be the result of the Enquiry.
Mr.. Des VGux's first appearance does
not show very favorably for him but
whether he succeeds in establishing his
charges or not, there will doubtless be
some good effected by bringing the ques-
ton of the treatment of Immigrants be-
fore the public; for Managers and Over
seers are generally only too prone to treat
the unfortunate Coolies as if they were
altogether an inferior race of animals.
The COIoniSt did not come TO hand this

strong views on the subject of the Des

JAMAICA.
Sir Charles Bright has at length sue
ceeded in laying the Cuba section of the
Gable and great have been the reioicings
in consequence. The following taken
from the Cleaner gives an account of the
Expedition, by which it appears that the
Gable from ST. Jago was to have reached
Jamaica on IL or 18th inst, so that it is
almost certain that by the next jamaica
steamer we shall be Independent of the
Captain-G General for our kilograms. The
following is the account of the Cable Ex-
pedition =
From Diego Perez up to Juan Ruiz
Reef, twenty-five miles, was the first
portion of the Cable laid. This was done
10y means of sugar flats, it being impossi-
BILE for vessels of large tonnage and ordi-
nary construction to sail among the reefs
and shadows between those points. In
order to connect that end of the cable
with the other at Batabano, the steamers
had to go round by the Isle of Pines, a
distance of $50 miles dan when connected
with the other piece the length Of cable
was only rs miles. At Diego Pet,z, on
account Of the extreme shallowness Of
the water at some places, where it is as
low as eight feet, and the extreme depth
in others, where it was as much as seven
ty fathoms, within an area of half a mile,
much damage was done to the cable,
which, when it was laid over that and the
shelving reef became worn away, from
the continual motion of the waves, which
