CLOROFORM. -*A riend Ias placed in our' hands a padaphlet lately received from Dr. Simp son, lRdinburgh, on the discovery, nature and roperties of this luterestiog agent - ~adfor proffucing insensibility to pain.

The Niureis.

Hydrogeit and three oh Chlorine. The Chloroform .is" a dense, limnpid, *.colourless liquid, readily evaporating, and ' possessing-ani agreeable, fragrant and fruit like odour, and a pleasant saecharine taste, lts' specific aravity is 1,480, it boils at I41*, a'nd is not inflamabte, its advan tages over Sulphuiric E ther, a : *-1.

Tlhe inhalation is much more agreea ble and the subsequent effects cease almost ,imniodihtely andaire not unpleasant while they last. -Dr. Simpson gives several other reasons "'but we have embodied the most import. ant ones above, io w'hich we may add that it is less expensive, more portable, and easily inhaled by applying a handkerchief .sioistened wvithi it to the nose and mouth. Dr. Simpson has used Chloroform willi the msost admirable and complete success in-several serious cases of mid wifery, anml the results are such' as- toshow that iti happy effects are only equalled by the perfect safety which attends its judicious ~use.
