beginners in the administration Of
ether is that of forgetting to lessen the
proportion of the substance when full
anmthcsia is establlshed-tha is, con-
tinung to make their patients respire
an atmosphere as highly charged with
its vapors as when getting them under
its influence. Ii is matter of sur
prise to physicians how very little
ether will often suffice to keep n pa
the close of an operation. and this
small quantity will always POSTPONE
