With this knowledge, hewill not be surprised in an operation for inguinal hernia,for example, to find the patient, who is going along peace-fully enough through the dissection of the involved mus-cles, suddenly come out of the anaesthesia when traction is 62 ANAESTHESIA made upon the hernial sac, whose formation, it will be re-membered, is peritoneal. If we were jjositive that the amount of ether made nodifference, from a pathological point of view, and if we weresure that a deep anesthesia afforded an absolute nerveblock, it would be very poor technic to use any method butthat which will give a constant level.
