Abstract
dc:description.abstractAs far back as 1796 a group of Dutch chemists produced a dense oily liquid. This was probably ethylene dichloride (CH2C1)2 and it was known as Dutch liquid or chloric ether, remaining for many years a chemical curiosity. Professor Benjamin Silliman, in his Yale College Elements of Chemistry, dated February, 1831, gave a description of the physical properties of chloric ether, and ended the paragraph by stating: Its medical powers have not been ascertained but from its constitution and properties, it is highly probable that it would be active diffusive stimulant (83a).
