Kitch- ' fl en, "I was the first physician in north- ,M ern Indiana to make use of chloro- '''JM form. I was a young fellow, not much M past 21 years old, the Ink hardly dry H on my sheepskin, when a man came H into my offlco to have an aching tooth H pulled out. jM "I had n small bottle of chloroform,. f M and with the hardihood of youth I ;H made up my mind to use It. Ha read- H lly went undar the Influence of the ! new anaesthetic, I pulled manfully and ' ,H tbe grinder came out. I waited, but the patient did not return to conscious- tM ness. I was badly frightened, and s.M hastily seizing a bucket with about iH two gallons or water in it I poured It LH over him. Oasplng, he cams out from H the Influence of the chloroform. Then 'H he wanted to know what I meant by oH giving him such a soaking. H "Mustering all my profeisional sang 'H frold I calmly replied: 'That, sir. Is a M part of tbe treatment,' and he went 'it away, greatly to my roller, entirely - 'j satisfied." Indianapolis News. M |
