The cap formed in this mannerbeing so arranged upon the face, chloroform is graduallydropped upon it till the greater part of it is soaked, the edgesbeing left dry to avoid irritation of the skin by the liquid, andthe moist condition is maintained by frequent dropping onthe convex surface until the requisite physiological effects areproduced.
