when it is not giving mental comfort
10 thousands who know that they must
undergo operations, but that this be-

less. Anaesthesia has banished pain
from surgery, and has taken away the
dread of pain, that was almost as hard
to bear as the pain itself. 1t has made
easy operations that could not be done
because the hurt was more than human
fortitude could endure, and thus 1t has
heightened life. The fiftieth anniver-
sary of the first public demonstration
of surgical anaesthesia was recently
celebrated in Boston. Physicians and
