How Pain Was CONQUERED.

1t was bakers son who saved the
human race from endless pain. Sir
James Simpson was the first man TO
discover that chloroform could be used
TO render persons unconscious for the
purpose of performing operations. Un-

cal operation there was no way in
which the patient could be rendered
unconscious. Mr.. Simpson first p-ac-
ticed it upon himself and one day was
found lying unconscious on the floor
OF his study. where he had fallen after
