Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A New, Simple, and Ready Method of Dropping Ether From the Original Can
The drop method of administering ether is to-day interesting a greater number of surgeons and anes thetists than ever before. Numerous dropping bot tles, as well as dropping devices to be inserted into the can, have been contrived, but I believe that valid objections can be raised against all of them to which the method about to be described is not open. One objection to a special bottle is that it is not ad visable to remove a good ether, for use as an anes thetic, from the original tin to another container, lest thereby it absorb moisture or become contaminated otherwise. An objection to any particular contriv ance to be attached to the can is that such is an extra piece of apparatus, which may not be at hand or may be out of order when it is wanted, while, further, both special bottles and droppers are a con tinual extra expense.
