One Of the most peculiar cases Is that
of doctor who was formerly one oi
the finest practitioners of the West
Coming from an excellent family, pos
sessed nf large wealth, he received
liberal education, and. deciding ia
become a physician. studied at one o.
the best Eastern colleges. and gradu-
ated with unusual honors. Many years
ago he came to San Francisco, and
after having been established here for
short time began to acquire n fine
practice. In III few years he had among
his patients some Of the most promi-
nent and wealthy men OF the city. He
had occasion to use u large quantity al
chloroform in his treatment. and when
he began to be troubled with insomnia,
the result of repeated attacks Of neu-
ralgia, he also turned to the ansesthetic
for relief. But the remedy subse-
quently proved to be worse than the
disease, for with repeated applications
he found that he was unable to discon-
tinue its use, and soon became con-
firlned user of the drug. He would
frequently return TO bed during the
early part of the day for the purpose
Of enjoying the drug, and not night
passed that he did not avail himself 81
| its sleep-producing powers. The cum
ming of an insane mind began to devise
means to add to the enjoyment of the
body, and finally evolved an idea which
must be admitted to be certainly orig
| inal.
Obtaining long rubber tube. which
could be easily stretched, he attached
firmly to the ceiling at spot which
would be directly over his head when
in bed. To the other end he fastened
a medium sized sponge. After getting
into bed he would pour three or four
ounces of chloroform over the sponge,
often using half pound during the
night, and then pulling it down to bis
face would hold it to his nostrils until
Inconsistencies ensued. When his
hand fell to his side, the tension on the
rubber tube being relaxed. the sponge
naturally flew upwards, leaving the
victim to continue his sleep without thu
possibility of receiving an overdose.
If he awoke dusng the night the
operation would be repeated. ut was
a great scheme" to use slang phrase,
| but it is not known if the doctor ever
applied for patent on the invention.
1t is possible, however, that the prac.
: tice continued until he had been q
user of the drug for some time, and SC
continued until he had merely patients
enough to enable him to preserve {
proper appearance of responsibility
