AS in the case of an anaesthetic,
the recovery is dependent on the in
diYidual 1t is not often that there
are any bad effects from it, however.
In a number of cases that have oc-
CURED in Montreal, Canada, where
the discovery of the poisonous nature
of the fumes has been investigated,
recovery has been prompt and the
victims were able to return to work
the next day. -
In all of these cases, however, re-
storative measures were commenced
Immediately on the men being over
come-the victims being men in
these -cases-so that there is no evil
dence of what the fumes will do if
the person overcome by them is not
given immediate attention. That is,
there is no positive evidence so far
as the Montreal authorities know.
There have been cases where
deaths have occurred which,. in light
of the discovery that has been made,
may safely be assigned to inhaling
gasoline fumes. One of these was the
case of man who was painting or
cleaning the inside of a gasoline tank
and was found dead. Another was
the case Of chauffeur who was
found dead in a garage where there
was no ventilation and where the
fumes of gasoline were very strong.
1t is pointed out that, In view of
the universal custom of using gaso-
line as a cleaning material by women,
it would be well to see that the room
where it is used is well ventilated
with a steady current of fresh air.
There is no danger so long as the
fumes are not confned-iust as there
is little or no danger of explosion
when the gas is allowed to mingle
freely with the air.

DISCOVERED THAT GASOLINE
FUMES ARE POISONOUS
Gasoline fumes, in addition to be-
ing highly infammable, are also poi
sonous to the human being.
This fact has only recently been
developed by medical authorities and
it is possible that its discovery might
have the effect of explaining some
deaths that have been assigned as
probably due to other causes.
The fumes are poisonous under
certain conditions and it is well to
have these conditions thoroughly I'M
derstood, else there may be more
deaths from this cause. Combined
with enough air there is little or no
danger, but when a person is subject
ed to the influence of the fumes in
confined place the chances are that
they will be affected in a way that
might have fatal results.
1t is well known that one of the
distillates of petroleum is rhigolene,
which is local anaesthetic, and that
another is cymogene, a fluid that can
be used to produce freezing, It is
curious, therefore, that the effects
of gasoline fumes are something sim
liar to anaesthesia produced by ether
or chloroform.
So far as their investigations have
gone the chemists and medical men
who have investigated gasoline poi
soning, have come to the conclusion
that it's effects are very much like
being overcome with an anaesthetic.
The victim suddenly collapses and
becomes unconscious. During the
period when consciousness is lost the
people behave very much as do peo-
pie who have been subjected to ether
as an. anaesthetic. Some of them
