tributed the death of John Rohrty
which occurred at the county hospital

to the use of this anaesthetic in Chi,

official position which he occupies, is
bound to place a stigma upon the drug

physicians of Chicago, refused to 90 on
record with regard to agreeing or dis
agreeing with the belief of DR.. Hunter
But from conversations with several 1t
