Anesthetic

Excerpt from Anesthetic: Their Uses and Administration The introduction of anaesthetics, which has done so much to rob surgery of its horrors, alike for the patient and the operator, has created a great demand for per sons capable of administering these pain-destroying agents, without unfortunately exciting, as a rule, so great a sense of responsibility in the administrator as his difficult and dangerous duties should render obligatory. It is surprising that surgeons who have witnessed the attempts of novices to give anaesthetics, should hold any view save that no one is capable of safely giving any anaesthetic unless he has been carefully taught and has obtained considerable experience.
