In some persons the first effects of chloroform areviolent struggles, and there is danger in trying to overcome thesestruggles by pushing the drug very rapidly. Not only is this a CHLOROFORM 201 well-recognized fact depending upon clinical observations, but Sher-rington and Sowton have proved experimentally that the heart ispeculiarly susceptible to the depressant effects of chloroform when itis simultaneously exposed to an abnormal quantity of C02 in theblood.
