Having reached surgical anesthesia, the further effortsof the anesthetist should be devoted to observing the respiration, pulse,pupils, and the patients general condition, and to prevent him frompassing into that dread stage of respiratory paralysis. The respirationshould be quiet, with perhaps a very slight snore. Panting and rapidbreathing, or irregular stertorous breathing, indicate that the patientneeds more air.

Com-mence dropping the ethyl chlorid upon the mask until the patientreaches unconsciousness. Now begin dropping ether. If the patientswallows, or shows any signs of returning consciousness, continue drop-ping the ethyl chlorid until this disappears, then recommence withthe ether. Continue in this way until full surgical narcosis is reached,when the ethyl chlorid may be discontinued. The ether may now becontinued by the drop method, as already outlined, or ethyl chloridmay be sprayed intermittently for five to ten seconds on the mask untilthe second stage is reached, when a switch may be made to ether. Ifsigns of consciousness ensue, ethyl chlorid must be continued to be inter-mittently sprayed, the ether at the same time being dropped upon themask. The Ethyl Chlorid-Ether-Chlorof
