Excerpt from Chloroform: Its Action and Administration
I have endeavored in the following pages to present a brief resume of our present knowledge concerning chloroform and its effects. The subject is so important that it cannot need apology; the apology must he for the Author.
My medical education commenced at a time when the vastness of the boon conferred by the discovery of the an?sthetic was just beginning to assert itself, and I was associated frequently with the late Dr. Snow, whose name is everywhere known in connection with the subject. For a considerable time also I was in the habit of administering chloroform at King"s College Hospital, as well as in the practice of Mr. Fergusson and other friends (to whom I am anxious to express my obligations). Hence I have felt a real and practical interest in the matter of which this hook treats.
I can scarcely avoid the hackneyed expression of "endeavoring to supply a want." It has appeared to me that the time has come when the separate experience and teaching of individuals may he advantageously formed into a continuous chain.
