One

Convulsions.
The
following
remarkable
case,
in
which
a
surgeon
saved
the
life
of
an
infant
in
convulsions,
by
the
use
of
chloroform,
will
be
read
with
interest.
He
commenced
the
use
of
it
at
nine
o'clock
one
evening,
at
which
period
the
child
was
rapidly
sinking,
numerous
remedies
having
been
already
tried
without
effect.
He
dropped
half
a
drachm
of
chloroform
into
a
thin
muslin
handkerchief,
and
held
it
about
an
inch
from
the
infant's
face.
In
about
two
minutes
the
convulsions
gave
way,
and
the
child
fell
into
a
sleep.
By
slightly
releasing
the
child
from
the
influence
of
the
chloroform,
he
was
able
to
administer
food,
by
which
the
child
was
nourished
and
strengthened.
The
chloroform
was
continually
administered,
in
the
manner
described,
from
Friday
evening
at
nine
o'clock
until
Monday
morning
at
nine.
This
treatment
lasted
sixty
hours,
and
sixteen
ounces
of
chloroform
were
used.
No
injurious
effects,
however
trivial
from
the
treatment
adopted,
subsequently
appeared.
