150 years ago:Dr Crombie’s chloroform apparatus

27 Jul 2022Registered users

This instrument, of which we append a woodcut, is a very ingenious and useful invention. The object of the inventor has been to make it possible for persons suffering from intense pain or insomnia to avail themselves of the benefits of those smaller doses (“stimulant” doses, we should call them) of chloroform which will produce sleep without producing coma.
