No chIoroform Nausea.

Chloroform administered through a
tube is said to dispense with the nau-
sea which is almost invariably en-
countered otherwise. The new prac-
tice was inaugurated by French prac'
titioner, Doctor Guisez. The nausea
is caused by part Of the chloro-
form vapors being absorbed by the
esophagus and the stomach. Doctor
Guisez introduced the chlorOform va
pors directly into the windpipe. The
tube method already has been en-
ployed in several hundred cases, and
with great success. 1t Is particularly
useful for operations to be performed
on the head and neck. =

been killed bat that he had been captured after

as a prisoner into Mexico from that day, however

We had travelled some two or three miles along

Pitt scow upon them as passed and we had
gone bat "a little distance beyond them, when he
drew up his horse and proposed 70 me that we

lives and besides said T. If you should do so, you
will commit an act YOU will bitterly regret as long

But all the arguments I could use seemed IN
have no effect upon Mr. Pitt. and al length he said

without saying q word 70 me. But | knew Mr..
