take ether badly. Within the past few years very great progress has been madein our knowledge of the selection and administration of anesthe-tics, but in no special class of cases has this progress been as greatas with children. The third erroneous idea is, and this is the most serious mis-take of all, that Children are easy to anesthetize. Chloroformis a protoplasmic poison. It has a cumulative effect. While undertwo per cent, is not dangerous as regards life, for adults, childrencan be anesthetized very safely and quickly with as small anamount of chloroform as from i-io to i per cent. It is rarelynecessary to go over t per cent. Infants from I to 5 years oldshould be anesthetized with the warmed vapor of chloroform andether, suitably mixed. In cases of spina bifida, where the littleone is only a few days or weeks old, 1-10 per cent, of warmchloroform vapor to induce anesthesia, plus small amounts ofwarmed ether vapor to continue the anesthetic, is perfectly satis-factory and safe.
