The use of chlorofOrm for the pur-
pose of inducing insensibility to sur
gical operation was first practically
adopted in 1916. The idea, however,
of saving the human body by artifi-
cial means from the pains and tor
lures inflicted by the surgeons knife

poppy, henbane and other narcotic
preparations, to effect this object by

In the thirteenth century anaes-

a vapor composed of opium, hemIock,
mulberry leaves and a host of other
ingredients.
