CHLoRoFoRM is made on a large scale
by cautiously distilling together good COM
nercial chloride of lime, water and alcohol.
The second or third inspiration of the va
por OF chloroform produces death in some
cases. In other cases people have been
kept in profound state of anmsthesia for
several hours without apparent injury.
Chioroform taken to the point of producing
insensibility once, does not establish the
fact that you can safely take it second
time. Life may go out like the snnf6ng of
a candle by the time the full effect of the
drug is reached. The use of chloroform
as an an@sthetic is extremely hazardous,
and it has been abandoned almost entirely
by the medical profession.
