Synopsis

This book explores the safe and painless administration of anaesthesia. Ether, alcohol, and chloroform were known pain relievers but the author, a practicing surgeon, was dissatisfied with their use. Chloroform, in particular, caused deaths and was more dangerous than ether, and the mixtures of the three were unreliable, and could not be easily measured or graded. This book therefore offers a new method for giving anaesthetics. The author developed an apparatus that ensures a precise dose of measured strength, and a combination of anaesthetic vapours (rather than just one) to eliminate the risk of heart failure associated with chloroform. It also explores the physiological and chemical properties of various anaesthetic vapours, providing a detailed record of the author's experiments to support the safety and efficacy of his new method. The book provides a significant contribution to the history of anaesthesia, offering a safer and more effective alternative to the use of chloroform alone, and provides illuminating insights into the nature of pain relief.
